Frequently asked questions

Can I appeal a PCN from the Anerley Road bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to London Borough of Bromley first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If London Borough of Bromley rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators at London Tribunals. Its adjudicators are lawyers independent of the enforcing authority, and their decision is binding on both sides. The grounds that win here are that your vehicle was not in the bus lane during its operating times (4–7pm Mon–Fri), that it was an exempt vehicle, or that the signage did not make the restriction clear. Note that paying the £80 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
