There are 5 different enforcement cameras at this location. On Friday 26 February 2021 a total of 14 Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) were issued from these cameras. On Friday 5 March 2021 there was a total of 251 PCNs issued.

We do not hold CCTV footage from this junction. The cameras used to enforce our Road User Charging schemes (the Congestion Charge, Low Emission Zone and Ultra Low Emission Zone) are ANPR cameras which capture number plate data in the form of text rather than images. A still photographic image is also captured and used for evidential purposes if a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) is issued.
If this is not the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact me.
