About this camera

Southwark Council lists a CCTV camera on Upland Road at its junction with Dunstans Road, enforcing a motor vehicle prohibition restriction. A PCN from it alleges driving a motor vehicle where motor vehicles are prohibited. The council lists the restriction as applying Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 9.15am and 3.15pm to 4pm; outside those hours it does not apply, so check the time printed on your PCN. School streets only apply at the times shown, normally in term time, and residents and some others can register for an exemption. Check the time on your PCN and whether you hold an exemption. 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 school street camera

  • School streets are part-time: check the times and whether you held an exemption (residents, blue badge holders and others are often exempt by permit).
  • Weight limits often have "except for access" exemptions.

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.
