And another thing - the sticky strip that I guess is supposed to be
used by the Parking Attendant to stick the thing to my windscreen
wasn't removed - it's semi transparent and I can read through it
"Officer please remove this tape".

I don't s'pose for a minute this makes any difference whatsoever but
I'd look a right plonker if it turned out to be some devastating
legal loophole!


To be valid the ticket must be either handed to the driver or fixed
to the vehicle. However, I suppose you must argue whether to place
it under the wiper was sufficient to 'fix' it to the vehicle.


Around Hammersmith Broadway there are signs on the lampposts stating:

"Parking Restrictions Enforced By Camera. Motorists committing parking
offences will receive a ticket by post"

I have always assumed these to be an empty and unenforceable threat.


No, Hammersmith are piloting a scheme where parking contraventions detected
by CCTV are enforced by sending the PCN to the registered keeper.

Also, there are currently six boroughs enforcing bus lane regulations using CCTV cameras
(London Boroughs of Newham, Croydon, Hammersmith and Fulham, Ealing, Wandsworth
and Southwark). In addition, applications from the Corporation of London and the London
Borough of Lambeth have been approved and it is hoped that both boroughs will commence
enforcement in the near future.

The London Local Authorities Act 1996 gave the London boroughs powers to
use CCTV cameras to enforce bus lane regulations. The London Local Authorities
Act 2000 gave the London boroughs powers to enforce parking contraventions
using CCTV cameras.
