Worth a try to appeal against - I've managed to get 2 tickets overturned recently. Its a bit pot luck and will be turned down on first appeal by default.


I'm in favour of School Streets as a whole, but them being during holidays etc are just taking the mick.

Townley Road used to be a normal road to drive along a couple of years ago. During the lockdown Labour controlled Southwark decided to change this and other roads in the area and now they are roping in millions of pounds in fines even on Bank Holidays!


It's a disgraceful situation and Labour will hopefully pay for it at the next local elections.

> Yes it's Monday to Friday regardless

> of bank holiday or anything else!


The only judgment I've found supports that view on bank holidays when the relevant Order is silent on the point:

5. In my opinion the argument put forward on this review

by the Council that where no exemption is expressed in the

Order then no exemption can be inferred to apply to Good

Friday is a compelling one. I am of the opinion that the

Order does apply on Good Friday. The only days on which

the prescribed hours do not apply are Sundays. They appear

on the face of the order to apply on all other days including

bank holidays and other public holidays.

Sign seems perfectly clear to me, so what's the problem exactly?

I assume the problem perceived by the OP was that some people may assume that the sign doesn't apply on bank holidays; just as some don't realise that the sign is a prohibition, or one that that applies to their class of vehicle. Which is a real problem, if you think it's regrettable for people to unknowingly and unnecessarily commit themselves to a ?65 debt for just the benefit of passing the sign.

Sigh. I wish I'd seen this before getting caught on the next bank holiday Monday! I find it to be very confusingly placed signage if not familiar with the specific rules and location in advance... vey harsh also for those struggling with bills at the moment.

    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
