Hi All,
I received a fine for driving in a bus lane in Newham 25/10/18, I challenged the fine with in 14 days back at the beginning of November (the 2nd to be accurate) I got no response from my challenge but I know they got my letter as I sent it signed for. I have then got a response saying I have to pay the full fine of £160. 14/12/18 i have not heard anything of my challenge. What should I do next I also had another 1 around the same time haven’t heard anything from my challenge their either. What should I do next. The context of the fine, I traveled no further than 15 meters in the bus lane as I was turning right to go to my place of work. They have no further evidence than 15 metres either as that’s all the camera gets. I might mention I work in the building behind the council offices in Newham. I am annoyed because they seem to ignore my letters, an you can not appeal online. Any help would be gratefully recieved. Jamie |

Full penalty is £130.
London bus lanes have a two step council appeal process, like windscreen parking tickets, so you can now make a formal appeal. Suggest you start by pointing out you did challenge the PCN, and then repeat your challenge. They will reoffer the discount at least I expect. for help with contravention post details. |

There is a flaw on Newham PCNs but you need to post the documents you have received, redact name and address only, leave everything else in. Try and get hold of the video as well. Finally post a link to the location on Google Street View.
