Page 1 of Got a bus lane ticket in Manchester between 2006-2008? Get it refunded!!!

Just read this over on Autocar`s website.

Quote:
Manchester council is being forced to cancel nearly 20,000 fines issued to drivers using bus lanes in the city.

A legal loophole means that because the cameras were not certified correctly, the fines issued between October 2006 and December 2008 are invalid.

More than £544,000 was collected in fines, and those issued with a ticket will now be able to reclaim their money.

Vicky Rosin, the council`s director of neighbourhood services said: `We apologise for this mix-up. Anyone who thinks they have been issued with a Penalty Charge Notice by one of these cameras during the period in the past when they were not approved can contact the City Council. We will look at each ticket on a case by case basis.`


All the best

Gerald.



Shameless website plug

I think the council should contact all the persons issued tickets with a refund not them contacting them.

I know a few people that are in this boat, but on the other hand they shouldnt have parked there ;)

I have never personally driven in Manchester but I may just apply anyway. You never know! ;)

Could someone please
Remove these cutleries
From my knees...

I`d be interested in the total cost of this, including charges where non-payment of tickets has gone to a Bailiff company...

Id be careful you will end up with a refund, a blue badge and a lifetime membership to the gay and lesbian bikers club (:¦

Another classic example of people being aware of their rights, but not their responsibilities.



Live a life you love, use a god you trust, and don`t take it all too seriously

I think captain gatso had the right idea and torched every camera. :B

What happend to him is he in the clink :D
