Driver delighted with York fine appeal decision

The driver who challenged the penalty imposed by the City of York Council after he drove along Coppergate says he is delighted that his appeal was upheld.

The decision has called in to question more than a million pounds worth of fines imposed by the authority to motorists for using the route, as well as crossing Lendal Bridge.

The Traffic Adjudicator says the council had no authority to fine drivers, but the council have warned drivers the restrictions and fines will remain in place.

Nigel Rhodes says he is pleased with the outcome of his case.
