Does the clock stop if you appeal?
Wondering if you should pay the money while still disputing just in case appeal fails to avoid the higher amount?

Appeal 100% should be upheld if following official diversion route but never know!

Pretty sure it does with most appeals . Unfair if it doesn't

Whether this applies to the recent M25 closure, I don't know....Alec.

I'd like to think so as we only followed said routes frgn ridiculous to think the waste of time and money involved but I suppose if they get away with it profitable it will be

Firstly sorry that you had to curtail you trip in such circumstances. My daughter lives in London and has several such fines overturned on appeal when diverted, so whilst it is a pain I think that you should be successful.

 

[runnach]

Appeal, and when they know it is squeak squeak fae Livi, charge will be waved

 

[trevskoda]

Time you pulled all the cams down, just another money grabing scam, here they spray paint or cut the poles, even saw one being bent over with a digger, are are only for speeding and police observation to watch bandits and drug dealers move around.

 

[Marshman]

They have com up with a much better plot to stymie the ULEZ cameras. They are attaching Bat boxes to them. It is illegal with draconian fines and imprisonment for anyone to disturb a bat box. It will be interesting to see how that nice Mr Khan gets round that one!

No doubt those in power will consult with Batman and the authorities will continue Robin the rank and file!!

we are just glad we dont have to go anywhere near shyt hole london OR any other shyt hole big cities

 

[Pudsey Bear]

The town shopkeepers pay rates, they should be getting on at the councils & withholding payment through lack of customers, before long the country will be littered with ghost towns if some sense isn't employed soon.

 

[Winks]

Well whatever is the outcome of the highway robbery Gordon I just hope that whatever caused your unplanned return resolves itself as well as it possibly can.

Cheers

As you mentioned earlier Gordon, it is your quality time being consumed dealing with this nonsense. Take note of the time for you to deal with this when concluded, then invoice them for your time, and why not.

 

[gasgas]

............when concluded, then invoice them for your time, and why not.

Ah but you are forgetting Clause 239 part 3(b) subsection 4 which says any successful appeal cannot claim compensation for loss or damage or expenses incurred in appealing. Notwithstanding your choices of action which multiply tenfold if you are claiming Human Rights, in which case you can appeal under Section 282 of the not-yet-passed-through-the-House-of-Lords Bill for Appealing Against Unfair Camera Violations Act. To be heard some time in the next Parliament, unless there is a different party in power at that time.
Vote Monster Raving Looney Party. You know it makes sense. Or at least, more sense than any of the current incumbents.

This happened to me last year. I found myself wanting to cross the Woolwich Ferry and encountered "Ferry Closed. Diversion - thatway". I didn't follow the diversion because it took me into one of the many zones-of-doom. It took me many hours of driving around avoiding any zones to get to the Other Side. Result: much consumption of the world's limited oil reserves and emissions of I-know-not pollutants which would have not occurred if I was allowed to drive in a non-LEZ / ULEZ line to where I wanted to go.

Yes, it does appear those in power have carte-blanche to continuously shaft the rank and file populace.

Appeal sent ,now let's see how it pans out
Stated I only followed the route of yellow diversion signs
