A Croydon man has started campaigning on the street against the borough's Lower Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) scheme after receiving fines totalling over £800.

Shakeel Yousaf, who previously told the Croydon Guardian he had been charged hundreds of pounds after using Parsons Mead Road in West Croydon, hopes to save others from a similar fate after saying his fines now total some £845.

As such he took to the road in question over the weekend (January 23) to warn other drivers about the possibility of receiving fines in the area.

In photographs shared with the Croydon Guardian, Shak could be seen holding a homemade sign that warned other road users they could be fined for driving on Parsons Mead Road as he had been.

"I'm not exactly sure when they changed the road (to the new rules) but those fines were the first I knew of it.

"Dozens of cars are going down that road every day because it was not a clear sign," Shak said previously, suggesting the signage at the top of the road didn't make it clear drivers could get penalised.

During his stint campaigning over the weekend, Shak said had received support from a number of motorists and other road users for his campaign and continues to hope Croydon Council will overturn his fines.

"Obviously I hope all my fines are overturned.

"Secondly I want to help my neighbours and fellow residents of Croydon.

"And thirdly, I would like Croydon Council to refund every single fine that's been paid to them for this 'offense' and cancel any tickets that are currently pending," Shak added, suggesting that the council could "make the signs much more transparent and clear" as to the rules on Parsons Mead Road.

Croydon Council previously commented on Shak's case, and strongly refuted any accusations of improper signage in the area, saying they had also warned residents prior to the introducing the LTN rules:

"Penalty charge notices are issued for driving through the Low Traffic Neighbourhood closures that are in place to reduce through traffic and encourage safer, healthier streets.

"Warning notices were sent, and a lengthy grace period was held following the installation of camera-enforced closures, ensuring local motorists would have time to get used to the changes.

"Not only can we confirm that signage is compliant with legislation, but we have added extra material to make them even more visible at night," a spokesperson said.
