AppealNow - Westminster F3 CPZ Landmark Adjudication Victory
|
|
In a landmark case at the London Parking Adjudicator, Barrie Segal, the founder of AppealNow.com, got the Controlled Parking Zone for the central zone of London’s West End declared illegal.
Barrie represented transport company, Keystone Distribution UK Ltd in a case against Westminster Council where he claimed that the Council’s massive F3 Controlled Parking Zone in the heart of the West End was illegal and that no parking tickets could be issued to motorists on single yellow lines in that zone. Barrie’s argument was that Zone F3 did not have the correct signs at each vehicle entry point and therefore the zone was illegal. After a site inspection the Parking Adjudicator agreed with Barrie.
The effect of the decision (Keystone Distribution UK Ltd –v - City of Westminster Case 2080274557), is that every single yellow line must have a time plate showing the parking restrictions along its length (The Department for Transport recommends every 30 metres). As hardly any single yellow lines in the area have these individual signs no parking ticket can be issued to vehicles parked or waiting there.

Ealing Council to Remove 6 Unlawful Box Junctions
|
|
THE MOTORISTS LEGAL CHALLENGE FUND - Press Release 6th November 2008
On 4th November 2008 Ealing Council issued a press release (ref: ST 203) stating that it intends to remove 6 yellow box junctions in the Borough thereby ending four years of unlawful enforcement. This change has been brought about as a result of a sustained campaign by motorists and residents principally led by Jim Douglas, creator of the website Money Box Junction with assistance from with the local press.
Ealing’s press statement attempts to deflect blame for any mistakes away from the Council and onto the Department for Transport. However, that does not alter the fact that the ultimate responsibility lies with the Council’s Highways department to ensure that all lines and signs are legal. Freedom of Information requests have been lodged with the Council and the Department for Transport, so the truth of ‘who said what to whom’ will become clear in due course.
Traffic signs expert for the Motorists Legal Challenge Fund, Richard Bentley said “They ought to be able to get it right. It’s not rocket science. The Traffic Signs Regulations and General Descriptions is mainly pictorial and is very clear. After studying that, if you still are still not sure, then the Department for Transport produces the very helpful Traffic Signs Manual and loads of working drawings to ensure that Local Authorities deploy signs and lines that are lawful.”

Harrow 3,400 CCTV PCNs cancelled
|
|
THOUSANDS of people will not have to pay parking fines due to flaws in the wording on tickets.
Harrow Council was forced to cancel around 3,400 unpaid penalties
issued to people caught parking illegally on CCTV after it lost an
appeal in September.
The error, which is likely to cost around £95,000, crept in after
changes to the format of tickets were introduced on April 1 and the now
void fines were all between that date and October 13.
But the 9,380 people who paid their charge on time will get no
money back because the authority’s legal advisors say coughing up is an
admission of guilt.

Chief Adjudicator’s
Foreword
I am pleased to present to
the Committee this joint report of the Parking Adjudicators for the year
2007-2008.
The most important event
this year, although it only occurred on 31 March 2008, the last day of the year
covered by the report, was the introduction of parking enforcement under the
Traffic Management Act 2004, replacing enforcement under the Road Traffic Act
1991. We deal in detail with this development below. Enforcement of other
matters under the 2004 Act – bus lanes, moving violations and the London lorry ban – has
not yet been introduced. Enforcement of those contraventions therefore
continues under the existing legislation. This means we continue with several
different regimes operating in parallel. This is less than satisfactory. It has
never been clear to us why enforcement under the 2004 Act could not be
introduced for all contraventions together. Until these other contraventions
are enforced under that Act, a principle aim since the legislation was enacted
four years ago, a single coherent enforcement regime, will not be achieved.
This year we received
64,072 appeals, the highest number ever. At present there is no sign of the
increase abating.

Croydon orders CEOs to issue PCNs or face disciplinary

Croydon Council has ordered traffic wardens to hand out a minimum amount of parking tickets or face disciplinary warnings.
The
council, which has in the past vehemently denied giving the attendants

Security Industry Authority not to regulate Bailiffs

Following debate that the Security Industry Authority (SIA) was likely to be appointed by the Govt as a bailiff regulator, it has been confirmed by a Ministry of Justice official in the industry press that the SIA will not be undertaking complaint handling.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) will have to take on complaint handling for bailiffs, a senior official said yesterday.

Motorists Legal Challenge Fund
|
|
If someone told you it could cost up to £60,000 to challenge a £60
parking ticket, you’d most likely think they were joking. But if you
really believe that your ticket is unlawful and the Council refuses to
cancel it, then you lose at appeal, where can you go next?
The answer is, next stop the High Court. Unless you qualify for legal
aid (and so few people do these days) you are looking at a five figure sum!
Access to the legal system for the proverbial "man on the Clapham Omnibus"
has become prohibitive.
This lack of "equality of arms" has meant that there are effectively no
checks and balances on the parking industry, so they have been able to
operate outside the law, with impunity, for many years now.
The
massive public response to recent media stories about parking and
traffic enforcement shows that motorists are fed up with being relentlessly
exploited.
As there is no watchdog or Ombudsman looking after the motorists’
interests, it is down to some individual or group of individuals to take on
the challenge.
Step forward Neil Herron, a man who is no stranger to controversy.
Over
the years Neil has collected parking tickets in his home town of Sunderland
and challenged their legality.
Despite overwhelming evidence of non-compliant
parking bays from an expert witness, when the tickets went to appeal, the
Adjudicator found in favour of Sunderland Council.
To cut a long story short, Neil has put his house on the line to hire a
top flight legal team so that he can take the only route open to him, a
Judicial Review in the High Court. Justice - but at what price? And who for?
EVERY SINGLE MOTORIST.
It is open to speculation that the parking “Industry” thought it was safe
and that nobody would have the guts (or resources) to mount serious legal
challenge. They certainly have the money (mostly taken from us) to mount a
defence.
But why stop with one case?
It is in every motorist’s interest to support
Neil’s efforts by contributing to a fighting fund that will create a truly
level playing field in the future.
They have the money and we have the money – it’s all fair and square.

Lambeth - 50 Wardens quit as visa checks begin

Nearly 50 traffic wardens have left their jobs in one London borough after immigration checks were carried out.
NCP Services Ltd took over the contract for wardens in Lambeth in August and examined the backgrounds of 150 staff.
Forty-eight of these then "resigned or just didn't turn up for work", the company's spokesman, Tim Cowan, said.

Traffic signs in Britain - biggest review in 40 years launched by DfT
|
|
Transport Minister Rosie Winterton today called on motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, highway authorities and road organisations who are keen to have a say in how our streets will look in the future, to take part in the biggest review of British road signs for 40 years.
The review will ensure that traffic signs keep pace with the latest technology, help to cut congestion and emissions and keep traffic moving safely and efficiently without cluttering our streets.
The review's aims include:
* To consider new powers to reduce street clutter - and ensure out of date signs are removed;
* Look at using new traffic sign technologies that can provide new ways of managing traffic flow;
* Provide better road information - such as up-to-date travel news - to give motorists informed choices about their journeys;
* Demonstrate how effective signing can provide safer roads and reduce accidents;
* Improve road users' understanding of traffic signs and signals.

Haringey - 'Illegal' parking signs may spark refund bonanza
|
|
DRIVERS
could demand parking ticket refunds because Haringey Council put "illegal" signs
in restricted parking zones, it is claimed.
The council may have to pay
out thousands of pounds amid reports council contractors have been sent to
change Controlled Parking Zone signs in Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters because
they are missing the restriction times.
One resident, who did not want
to be named, said: "They've had the wrong signs for two years. They've been
illegally issuing tickets. The signs just have 'residents parking only'. I think
by law they're supposed to have the time of the CPZ, which is
8am to 6.30pm but it's not on the signs.
"They've been
handing out tickets for two years.
"They might have to pay back fined
motorists and it shows the incompetence of the council because it's going to
cost tens of thousands to replace the signs."

'Select committee to inquire into taxes and charges on road users'
|
|
Call for written
submissions
The House
of Commons Transport Committee has today announced that it will be conducting an
inquiry into taxes and charges on road users.
The inquiry will address the
following questions:
• What
taxes and charges are currently paid to government by road users, how much
revenue do they raise and how does this compare with national and local
government expenditure on the roads network and ancillary
services?
• What is
the impact of the current charging regime on individuals, businesses and the
economy?
• Do the
taxes and charges paid by motorists capture the external costs of congestion,
local air and noise pollution, accidents, and CO2 emissions? Would it be
desirable for them to do so and, if so, how could this be
achieved?
• Should
the primary purpose of taxes and charges on motorists be to raise revenue to
cover the costs of the road network, to reduce traffic and congestion, to
minimise the negative social and environmental impact of transport, or some
combination of these?
• Does the
current system have different impacts on different categories of road user? If
so, is this fair?
• What
alternative methods of charging for road use are available, such as road pricing
in town and city centres and on the national road network, lorry road-user
charging schemes, switching charges between fixed charges (such as Vehicle
Excise Duty) and variable charges (such as fuel duty)?
• Should
foreign-registered vehicles pay for access to the UK's roads and
if so, how? How closely enforced are the rules governing re-registration of
foreign-registered vehicles which are brought permanently the UK and the
consequent liability for VED?

Freight Transport Assoc reports members paying £600 Million in London park
|
|
With the
cost of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for commercial operators having topped
£600 million a year, the Freight Transport Association has challenged traffic
authorities to sort out ‘Critical Delivery Zones'.
Traffic authorities,
particularly Westminster, Camden and Transport for London (TfL),
have too long relied on a lack of clear data as an excuse for not sorting out
the desperate shortage of loading and unloading provision in central London.
FTA has resolved this by commissioning an in-depth study of delivery ‘hotspots'
across the capital and producing a clear list of ‘Critical Delivery Zones' where
traffic authorities need to focus their attention and resources. The study has
been part-funded by the TfL Freight Unit.

Ealing Council and its unlawfully marked bays
|
|
Last week the Ealing Times ran a story about Ealing Council admitting technical errors with the markings of its parking bays as the reason for the Council pulling out of an adjudication hearing.
This week the Council has responded with an arrogant refusal to change its unlawfully marked bays.
This kind of scenario is exactly where the problem lies & isn't isolated to Ealing. No due diligence on the part of the local authority & now it has publicly stated its intention to continue to enforce unlawful restrictions in the full knowledge of its actions being likely to bring the Council into serious disrepute amongst the public, but more seriously how long will it be before this becomes a police matter?

Westminster tickets only as last resort & bailiffs abolished...
|
|
Following several press releases announcing implementiation of common sense parking policies, Westminster has to be singled out for effort in both listening to the public and business concerns and following up with changes to its systems.
First came the news in July that clamping and towing has been abolished - the Park Lane pound has been turned over to extra car parking facilities. Any vehicles causing obstruction will be removed to the nearest available safe space (& get a ticket).
Second came the announcement HGVs (anything over 3.5t) will now have 40 mins to load & unload between 11AM & 6.30PM (unrestricted before 11AM) - this had been piloted & became permanent policy on 3rd September. Westminster claims it has reduced tickets issued to HGVs by 60% in a year.
Third came the announcement of Westminster saying goodbye to the bailiffs. To be replaced with a debt recovery contract managed by Phillips Collection Services (who are bailiffs...).

London parking ticket & appeal statistics 2007 - 08
|
|
In total 6,176,752 penalties were issued in London in 2007/08 for illegal
parking, driving in bus lanes, contraventions under the London Lorry Control
Scheme and moving traffic offences, such as ignoring a no entry sign. Taking all
these contraventions into account there was a 2.3 per cent increase in the total
number of PCNs issued compared to the previous year.
The statistics also demonstrate the implementation of differential charging, by showing the breakdown between higher and lower rate PCNs issued. In the first 6 months 76% of PCNs issued have been for higher rate offences. The Councils claim this illustrates a committment to focus on more serious contraventions, the tandem increase in income is of course an accidental side effect.
Appeals from adjudication statistics show that only 1% of all PCNs issued in London progress to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service. Of which:-
On average 72% of all London parking PCNs appeals are won by motorists with councils still not contesting 42% of cases.
Westminster leads the way with a 93% loss rate 16,254 / 17,507 - not contesting 68%
Southwark 2nd place 88% loss rate
Hackney 3rd 83% loss rate
Lambeth 4th 76% loss rate
Islington 5th 68% loss rate
On average 60% of Moving Traffic Contravention appeals are won by motorists with councils not contesting 26% of cases.
Westminster 1st losing 95% 132 / 139
Southwark 2nd 85%
Lambeth 3rd 79%
The numbers of penalties issued to motorists wrongly using bus lanes fell for
the third successive year. A total of 115,290 fewer penalties in 2007/08
compared to the previous year - meaning a reduction of 541,282 penalties over
three years.

TfL refunds £20,000 of parking fines
|
|
Transport for London has
refunded more than £20,000 to motorists after it emerged that it had wrongly
issued hundreds of fines on a red route in Hampstead Garden
Suburb.
TfL, which
is responsible for managing red routes, backtracked after the Hampstead Garden
Suburb Residents' Association (HGSRA) dug up evidence that it had put its red
lines in the wrong place.
The lines,
in Hill Rise, were invalid because they encroached on a part of the road managed
by Barnet Council. TfL stopped issuing tickets in January after this was exposed
by Gary Shaw, of the HGRSA, but only agreed to refund the fines this
week.

Haringey tickets Haringey MP Lynne Featherstone while legally parked
|
|
from Lynne Featherstones blog
Parking tickets run amok
You couldn't make this up.
Walk out of my office this afternoon having parked outside on High Street Hornsey
for about half an hour - perfectly legitimately. The actual sign is the
sort that says you can park between 10am and 4pm for up to one hour and
no return within two hours. A ticket on my windscreen. I look at Ed
(who is my Head of Office and with me at that moment) and say - why,
how? We check the signs - they haven't changed.
At that point a
woman came up to me and said, 'Thank goodness - you're the MP aren't
you? The wardens have ticketed all the cars both sides of the road,
even though lots of us shopkeepers came out and told him to read the
sign and that it is perfectly OK to park here. The wardens read the
signs - and ticketed anyway.'

Call for London tickets to be issued by central body

Power to issue parking tickets in London should be taken away from
individual boroughs and given to a single authority, claims Mike

Bracey says parking
tickets are currently being issued by attendants in record numbers and

clarity, it would be better if parking tickets were issued by a single
authority rather than the 34 separate boroughs.

fined.
Transport for London (TfL) said ticketing on many locations were

years.
TfL has paid thousands of pounds in refunds to those who complained, agreeing that signs were "confusing".
Campaigners called on TfL to refund all drivers who were fined at those spots.

DfT proposes to amend TMA 2004 to remove need to sign double parking restriction
|
|
In London double parking, and parking at a dropped footway has been an "offense" since the days of the GLC.
(what about footway parking?)
With the implementation (31 03 2008) of the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA 2004) these "offenses" were brought into play nationally. The problem is that the TMA 2004 also required restrictions to be lawfully signed....and the Department for Transport (DfT) does not have any approved signs for these restrictions.
Now the DfT has issued a consultation (29 07 2008) proposing to amend section 85 and 86 of the TMA 2004 to remove the requirement
for signs and road markings.

policing of red routes, the congestion charge and parking fines.
Graeme Craig, its new chief of congestion charging and traffic enforcement, said: "We have got to change our attitude."
He said TfL was switching its emphasis from enforcement through fines to compliance by ensuring drivers understood the rules.

Mayor quashes £25 C-charge hike
|
|
London Mayor Boris Johnson has quashed the proposed rise in congestion charge for vehicles deemed the most polluting.
Former mayor Ken Livingstone planned to raise the daily levy from £8 to
£25 from October, prompting car maker Porsche to bring a legal
challenge.
Mr Johnson pledged in his election manifesto to scrap the £25 charge and said the move would save legal costs.
The mayor has also scrapped a proposal to allow some low emission cars free entry to the congestion charge zone.
Mr Livingstone said ditching the charge was a "further blow" to tackling climate change.
