Do you know anyone who was fined for stopping in the yellow traffic boxes in Philip Lane N15?
Alan Stanton is trying to bring pressure for the Council to repay some traffic fines issued between December 2005 and May 2006 for people who stopped their vehicle in the yellow criss-cross boxes painted on the road outside the Arriva Bus Garage in Philip Lane.

The yellow boxes were, of course, painted for a sensible, practical purpose - to let buses in and out of the Arriva Garage. Unfortunately, in May 2006 it turned out that the boxes didn't comply with Department for Transport regulations. Haringey stopped enforcing them and the cameras were removed.
Just to be completely clear, it applies only to the yellow boxes in Philip Lane N15 outside the Arriva Bus Garage. Cllr Haley may have queried the figure (3,746) for the number of fines which Council officers gave for this location. It may even be as low as 2000.
Alan is advising anyone who got and paid a fine at this location to contact Haringey Parking Service for a refund.
He would also like to hear from people who have already applied, or now apply for a refund and whether or not they get it. Since there was no parking offence, there should be no question.
Please spread the word.
