Council has no power to hand out Lendal Bridge fines
A Government ruling has concluded that City of York Council does not the power to impose fines for crossing Lendal Bridge.
Driver's legal victory calls fines into question
A successful legal appeal against a traffic fine has brought more than a million pounds worth of similar penalties into question.
Nigel Rhodes is the first driver to successfully appeal against a ticket for contravening traffic restrictions on Coppergate.
More than fifty thousand drivers have so far been fined for using Coppergate and Lendal Bridge during the daytime.
But the Traffic Adjudicator now says City of York Council had no power to issue the notice to Mr Rhodes.
The Council says it is seeking legal advice over the ruling and that restrictions remain in place, meaning drivers could still be fined.
