About this camera

Manchester City Council lists a CCTV camera on Stockport Road at its junction with Stanley Grove, enforcing a banned turn restriction (Right turn). A PCN from it alleges making a banned turn. The council gives 20 November 2023 as the date PCNs started being issued here. The council's list does not give the hours, so check the times on the signs and in the footage. Check that the banned-turn sign was visible on the approach and whether any exemption plate applied. Manchester's parking fine portal shows the photos or footage, usually within 24 hours of the incident. This camera has been enforcing for more than six months, so the first-time warning period under government guidance has passed. Appeals go to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.

First-time warning

The 6-month first-time warning period for this camera has ended, so a first contravention now gets a PCN.

Common grounds at a banned turn camera

  • Was the banned-turn sign at the junction and visible on approach?
  • Check any exemption plate and its hours.
  • Outside London: first time at a camera in its first 6 months should get a warning.

Camera PCNs must normally be served within 28 days of the date, unless the DVLA was slow to supply your details. You can ask the council to let you view the recording, or send stills, free of charge (reg 3(3)).

Paying within 21 days gets the 50% discount. Challenging first does not stop you paying later, but the discount may not be offered again once it expires, so note the date.
