Well if the council don't win at the High Court I'll guess they will pass the enforcement back to the Police to enforce the No Entry signs, if they have the time to do so...........
Could be more pricey to the car and motorbike driver though. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

I wonder when the council loses it's High Court Appeal if it will sack the official that gave the order to waste public money in fighting this!

Rules are rules....if the officials entrusted with implementing the law cant get it right then they should be sacked!!

I bet the local councillors never make a mistake with their expenses' claims

Josh I think your right the signs are lawful for prohibited vehicles - which the Council can't enforce. They [The Council] have been using Bus Lane offence incorrectly in an attempt to stop motorists driving through the High Street.

If they're going to fine motorists then they should get the offence right. MY10 TDV6 HSE, Alaska White, Ebony with Contrast, Park Heat, Paddle Shift, Privacy, Heated Steering Wheel, Extended & Premium Leather,

Result Landlord

But isn't the issue here that they have been misclaiming the offence - if they now penalise for entering a restricted entry area then they'll be OK [going forward] ?

Different issue I appreciate to the penalties to date...

Not as easy as that.....they will probably have to decide on which 'offence' they wish to issue PCN's for and ensure the relevant Traffic Order is in place and then go from there.....it'll take at least 3 months to amend the traffic order

Agree - they could have got the offence right in the first place and they'd be watertight - useless 's like so many in local govt, civil service etc etc etc .....
