A patient driver

The above location photo, of Acre Lane approaching Brixton Road doesn't show it very clearly but there is a section of single yellow, before some doubles reds, and on a Sunday motorists can park on the single yellow.

This led to a problem.

The driver, Mr P, found himself in what he thought was a traffic queue but he was in fact behind a parked car. Mr P wrote his own thoughtful representations.

 

 

One point that was missed was that signage was inadequate, it being turned away from passing drivers.

You would expect a reasonable length of reply given the serious points that had been made, which had the ring of truth to them. No such luck, Lambeth wrote very little:

Although the option to start an Appeal at London Tribunals is not mentioned in this formal Notice of Rejection, as the law provides, a Notice of Appeal form was provided.

Mr Mustard took over at this point and drafted the Grounds of Appeal. They were one of his better efforts, short and bang on target. He left to one side the failure to properly respond to what the representations said as that was a harder argument to get across the line and the two he did put forward were likely to bear fruit.

Mr Mustard didn't have to wait long, 11 days later Lambeth threw in the towel and cancelled the PCN.

The end.
