About this camera
Southwark Council lists a CCTV camera on Albatross Way at its junction with Swan Lane, enforcing a cycles only restriction. A PCN from it alleges driving a motor vehicle on a route open to cycles only. The council lists this restriction as applying at any time, so the time of day will not help on its own. Check the sign as it appeared on the day against the footage, including the hours and any exemption plate. Southwark reviews every camera contravention by a CCTV officer before issuing the PCN, which is posted to the registered keeper. Southwark says it issues warning notices for the first 2 weeks after it puts up a new camera. Appeals go to London Tribunals.
First-time warning
London councils are not expected to send first-time warnings for this kind of contravention.
Common grounds at a moving traffic restriction camera
- Bus gates are often missed because the signs are small or come too late to turn away; check whether there was an advance warning sign.
- Check the hours on the sign: many bus gates only apply at peak times.
- 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. You can ask the council to let you view the recording, or send stills, free of charge.
Paying within 14 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.
