About this camera
Southwark Council lists a CCTV camera on Walworth Road at its junction with Elephant Road, enforcing a banned turn restriction. A PCN from it alleges making a banned turn. The council lists this restriction as applying at any time, so the time of day will not help on its own. Check that the banned-turn sign was visible on the approach and whether any exemption plate applied. 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 banned turn camera
- Was the banned-turn sign at the junction and visible on approach?
- Check any exemption plate and its hours.
- Outside London: first time at a camera in its first 6 months should get a warning.
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.
