FOLLY BOTTOM: RESISTANCE COLLAPSES
25 February 2005 - Safe Speed
Earlier today the Partnership agreed that many people are due a refund on penalties paid for exceeding a speed limit that did not exist in law at roadworks on the A303 at Folly Bottom.
Safe Speed insists that the Partnership is proactive in contacting those motorists who have been penalised unjustly. Paul Smith, founder of the Safe Speed road safety campaign said: ''After a week of prevarication they have finally owned up to their responsibilities. Motorists who have been inconvenienced by this will be entitled to compensation as well as a refund of fine and licence points.'' Richard Bentley, (www.getjustice.co.uk) the signing expert who prepared the defence case said:''From the outset my report clearly identified that the law with regard to signing and traffic orders had either been overlooked, ignored or deliberately sidestepped. After many months of adjournment, the crown have finally accepted my findings and motorists will at last get justice. I''m delighted that motorists, who are continually under attack, will finally get justice in one small corner of England.''
