Day 2 Picture 2 of Bolton's Illegal Parking Bays

Dear Mr Harriss,
As promised please find attached pictures of an another illegal Hybrid bay.
I copy here again the remarks from Department for Transport relating to this type of Bay.
Traffic signs on any road to which the public has access, including private roads, must conform to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 or be specially authorised.

Mr Kelly states this picture is road marking to diagram 1028.4 but I observe a double termination marking in the photographs which does not conform to the diagram 1028.4 in Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (TSRGD). The road marking parking bay with a double termination in TSRGD 2002 is diagram 1032, where individual parking spaces are marked. I do not see any individual parking spaces. This marking seems to be an unlawful hybrid of 1028.4 and 1032 and does not conform to a single diagram in TSRGD 2002.

In direction 25 of TSRGD 2002 in the table (page 430) items 13,14 and 15 indicate the signs that must be used with 1028.4 which can be signs to diagram 639.1B, 660, 660.3, 660.5, 660.6, 660.7, 661.1, 661.2A, 661.3a, 662, 667, 667.1, 668, 668.1 or 801. However please also note Sub paragraph (2) on page 431 of regulations What ever is placed should also accord with the Traffic Regulation Order which places the waiting restriction.

Under the FOIA please supply the following information. I hold yourself responsible for the replies within the FOIA timeframe.

  1. How many Penalty Charge Notices have been issued on this bay in Mawdsley St Bolton.
  2. How many went to bailiff stage.
  3. Please supply copy of Traffic Regulation Order for this bay
  4. Please supply copy of Special Authorisation for this this hybrid bay.

You may treat 3 and 4 above as a normal request within Bolton Councils 10 day reply remit.

To reduce the impact on the environment and public funded postal charges, all replies should be sent via electronic means i.e. Email. No Paper copies.

Yours Sincerely
Barry Moss
