Roadworks in Lees have led to a deluge of incorrectly issued bus lane fines says newly elected Liberal Democrat Councillor for Saddleworth West and Lees, Mark Kenyon. He has contacted the Council demanding that the fines are automatically cancelled.
“We’re all sadly used to the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. But when one of those hands is slapping £60 fines on people, patience quickly wears thin and something needs to be done.
“To add further irritation, people, already busy enough as it is, are being forced to take the time to appeal a decision that wasn’t their fault. To say it sticks in a lot of peoples’ throats is a bit of an understatement.”
Mark Kenyon believes that all the fines from a certain date should be automatically cancelled and is campaigning for the Council to do this. He concludes:
“If you believe you’ve been wrongly fined contact me now with the date of issue, date of contravention, PCN number, your name and address and we’ll demand that these are cancelled.”
