We answered
TfL Ref: 1808-2122
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15 November 2021 asking for information about enforcement activity/action TFL have taken at the junction of Gleneagle Road and Ambleside Avenue in Streatham in the last 12 months in relation to the double red lines / red route parking bays. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require.
Gleneagle Road is part of the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN), which make up 5% of London’s roads and play a vital role in keeping London moving. This network carries a third of the city’s traffic and is essential for the movement of traffic and public transport.
TfL is determined to keep London’s main arteries running smoothly and safely. Red route parking violations are enforced by TfL funded PCSOs from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) Roads and Transport Policing Command (RTPC), or by camera enforcement where available and appropriate, on an intelligence led basis. In the last 12 months (1st November 2020 – 31st October 2021):
33 PCNs have been issued to vehicles on the Double Red Lines
95 PCNs have been recorded as being issued to vehicles in the Loading Bay outside 1D-1G Gleneagle Road and the Parking & Disabled Persons Vehicles bay outside no 12.
TfL officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) regularly patrol Gleneagle Road, providing a high visibility deterrence. It’s also important to note that on-street PCNs can only be issued to vehicles that are stopped. Where the driver remains in the vehicle, they may drive off when noticing an officer’s approach, meaning a PCN cannot be issued.
We are currently looking at ways to improve compliance at the location.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely
Sara Thomas FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
