Southwark Council - bus lane PCN template error

 

A short bus lane in Southwark Bridge Road

There are a few professional PCN fighters who link up in disparate loose ways. One such is Phillip Morgan and Mr Mustard has to raise his hat to him for his work on bus lanes in Southwark.
 
Council blunders simply never stop even when all they have to do is to copy some words out of the legislation.
 
It was Phillip who spotted Southwark's major blunder in that the words on their PCN were simply not correct thus rendering a PCN a meaningless piece of paper.

Here is a copy of the Freedom of Information response he was sent in August 25:

Full credit to Southwark Council for throwing in the towel (they had to be prodded a few times before they were forced to do this) but a news report elsewhere tells Mr Mustard that the contractor picked up the tab. If a contractor can swallow a hit of half a million pounds they are being overpaid for the services supplied?

There will doubtless be another blunder along soon.

The end.

I now moderate comments in the light of the Delfi case. Due to the current high incidence of spam I have had to turn word verification on.
