Create the right to examine council witnesses in moving traffic contraventions

Closed 307 signatures

What the petition asks

Millions of Penalty Charge Notices are sent out to motorists each year. We believe it is a human right to have the opportunity to question the evidence including by requiring the attendance of the author of a witness statement pertaining to a traffic camera.
We think some PCNs being overturned shows how important this is.
