Call to cancel Arundel Gate bus gate fines in Sheffield after adjudicator's ruling

The Star, Sheffield

Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator cancels Arundel Gate bus gate penalty charge because it was not 'adequately signed'.  As cars continue to miss the warnings - despite new signs - should all the PCNs now be cancelled?

00:00 On the Rundle Gate the Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator has ruled that this sign is obscured

00:05 by a post in front of it. It was also too close to the bus gate and it is contradicted by the

00:13 no U-turn sign that is behind it. For this reason the adjudicator cancelled the ticket

00:20 of Mark Fleming. Mark Fleming says that that means that all 39,000 tickets that were issued

00:29 until October 3rd should also be cancelled. The council installed these four huge red

00:37 bus gate enforcement warning signs on October 3rd to try to give drivers more warning.

00:43 The problem is that two of them today are lying flat in the road.

01:03 In the last few minutes I've seen several cars go through the bus gate on the Rundle Gate

01:06 which means that in combination with the Traffic Penalty Tribunal adjudicator's decision and the

01:15 apparently inadequate signage Sheffield City Council has a problem.
