About this camera
Manchester City Council lists a CCTV camera on George Leigh Street, enforcing a one-way street restriction. A PCN from it alleges driving the wrong way along a one-way street. The council gives 19 January 2026 as the date PCNs started being issued here. The council's list does not give the hours, so check the times on the signs and in the footage. Check that the one-way and no entry signs were visible at the point you entered. Manchester's parking fine portal shows the photos or footage, usually within 24 hours of the incident. This camera has been enforcing for more than six months, so the first-time warning period under government guidance has passed. Appeals go to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
First-time warning
The 6-month first-time warning period for this camera has ended, so a first contravention now gets a PCN.
Common grounds at a one-way street camera
- Were the one-way and no-entry signs present and visible at the entry point?
Camera PCNs must normally be served within 28 days of the date, unless the DVLA was slow to supply your details. You can ask the council to let you view the recording, or send stills, free of charge (reg 3(3)).
Paying within 21 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.
