00:00This lady stopped on the edge of an oversized box in Plumstead High Street for three seconds and came to
00:04me for help.
00:05Some years ago, Greenwich Council stuck this sneaky extension onto the end of the box.
00:09We appealed to a adjudicator on the basis that that part of the box illegally extends beyond the junction, and
00:15we weren't on those grounds.
00:16I did an FOI request which reveals that since enforcement started in 2021,
00:20they have made around £740,000 in revenue from PCNs at this one box alone.
00:25Most of the cases I see involve people stopping on the part that extends beyond the junction.
00:30It's quite clear that the oversized box and its enforcement is purely for money, money, money.
00:35And it's interesting watching how they dance around trying to cover it up.
00:39Trying to get stuck in a box, but if you do, check out The Guru.
