THOSE WHO have to deliver in London may be interested to know the London Lorry Control Scheme is not what it seems.
Back in April, we had a muckshift operation in Brixton, and were travelling through town via Holland Park and Earls Court.
In May, I received six notices alleging we had entered the zone without a permit and would have to pay a fine of £550 per notice (reduced to £275 each if paid within a certain time limit).
I appealed on the grounds of insufficient warning signs and had the lot thrown out. Sometimes it's worth putting up a fight for what you think is an injustice.
Nigel Sullivan Managing director KJS Transport Services Ed's note: CM spoke to a London haulage expert at one of the trade associations, who informed us that councils in London can take a more lenient look at first-lime breaches of the London Lorry Control Scheme, but following a warning, the payment of fines becomes much more likely.
