About this camera
Westminster City Council lists a fixed enforcement camera at the junction of Westbourne Terrace and Chilworth Street. A PCN from this camera alleges making a turn that the signs ban (code 50). 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. Check that the banned-turn sign was in place and visible as you approached, and whether an exemption plate (for example buses or cycles) or time limit applied. 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 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.
