A BBC News producer made the discovery about the Greenwich borough while contesting his own fine.
The BBC's Vince Rogers discovered Greenwich Council had not contested any appeals when he investigated his own penalty charge noticeIn one London borough drivers appealing against penalty charge notices were successful every time for over a year.
Across the other London borough councils, Transport for London and the collective borough representative organisation London Councils, 48% of appeals are successful. I uncovered Greenwich Council's 0% success rate after I received a penalty charge notice of £130 in June, for driving in a bus lane in Kidbrooke.Unfamiliar with the area, I had been preparing to turn left as directed by my sat-nav. But I was then horrified to see the words "bus lane" suddenly appear from under the bus in front of me and then disappear under my front wheels before I could take evasive action.
It was at this point I learned that not only had others made appeals over the bus lane and won, Greenwich Council had not contested any appeal of any kind since 28 July 2022.
