Last december when I was driving along Marylebone Road Westbound to
get
out of London and was diverted by Police into the Congestion Charge
Zone
and was caught by TfL camera and consequently I made a representation
to
explain the case but was told that TfL could not find the record on
the
traffic diversion occurred. I was asked by the TfL to provide evidence
about the traffic diversion. Since I haven't taken any particular note
of the police officers involved, I wonder if anyone there has
experienced similar case? and if yes, how I should proceed to acquire
such an evidence? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
-
Call the MPS giving the date, time and location and ask for an incident
log
number. If you're calling in the MPS area the non-emergency number is
101.
If you're outside the MPS area call 101 anyway and ask to be connected
to
the MPS.

I was dring along Marylebone road to get onto M40 back B'ham and was
diverted by police onto Portland Pl, along the Park Crescent (the
semi-circular road). The time was around 12:30-1:30pm, on 20th December
2012. I was certainly not the only one being diverted - there were many
other cars. I've written a letter to the Marylybone Police Station on
19th Feb in order to get a confirmation about the diversion but so far
have not received anything from them yet. I will certainly contact the
MPS again.

A local police station is unlikely to be able to help you. If you use the
number above you should be talking directly to the people who logged the
incident. Until you have an incident log number you don't have much hope.

Many thanks DAS. I've got the incident log number now and was asked by the lady who answered 101 call to write to New Scotland Yard for the written confirmation, which I will do shortly. I will certainly send a registered mail rather than the normal royal mail, to make sure it will not be lost on its way down to London. Does anyone have any idea how long does it take to collect such a confirmation letter from New Scotland Yard? Am I realistic to expect anything within two weeks after sending out the letter to NSY?
