HIGHWAY ROBBERY BUS ONLY STREET

If the image below is clear enough, you will see that the Council claim my finable offence was committed on "PARKWAY BRIDGE NEWBURY". There is no Parkway Bridge. The bridge they are attempting to define was called "the American Bridge" and this was replaced by the current structure with no name. At one end it attaches to the Wharf, forming part of Wharf Road that joins Park Way some distance from the bridge. "parkway" is the name of the new development.
THERE ARE NO NAME PLATES ON THE BRIDGE. I hold the view (derived from web data regarding court cases) that no properly run court will permit a Council to proceed against a motorist, if the place of the alleged offence is vague. I suspect ALL the PCNs (Penalty Charge Notice) are void. Further: the West Berks Council have asserted that a fine paid is, de facto, a fine payable; I think they will be proved wrong by virtue of the haphazard signage and its half-cocked state, over the months of entrapment.

Finally: once WBC realised they would have to take me to court, their truculence evaporated and they withdrew the threat. They do not want their serial failure (with a hint of opportunism)
aired in court.
