About this camera
Westminster City Council lists a fixed enforcement camera at the junction of Baker Street and York Street. A PCN from this camera alleges driving a type of vehicle that the signs prohibit (code 52). It is sent by post to the registered keeper with a photo of the alleged contravention, and you can watch the footage and see the photos on Westminster's appeals website, appeals.westminster.gov.uk, before you decide whether to challenge. Read the prohibition sign carefully: some only apply at certain times or allow access, and exemption permits are common. As a London camera, no first-time warning is expected here, and appeals go to London Tribunals, where the moving traffic grounds are narrower than outside London.
First-time warning
London councils are not expected to send first-time warnings for this kind of contravention.
Common grounds at a moving traffic restriction camera
- School streets are part-time: check the times and whether you held an exemption (residents, blue badge holders and others are often exempt by permit).
- Weight limits often have "except for access" exemptions.
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.
