[13:01:05] john cameron: hi, I am submitting traffic offences through the website, of drivers making illegal turns against a no entry sign. several hundred make this turn every morning and neither the met nor tfl do anything about it [13:01:39] john cameron: i want to know if these reports supported by photographs of the offence will be properly investigated [13:02:06] john cameron: and what can I do locally in terms of the met in order to bring this to an end before there is a serious accident [13:03:05] Matt: This is not for the Met or tfl. You need to make the local council aware of this. they can issue tickets etc [13:03:24] Matt: Its not something that we deal with i'm afraid [13:03:29] john cameron: these are traffic offences [13:03:38] john cameron: why would it not be the met [13:03:52] john cameron: the met are responsible for traffic offences [13:03:59] john cameron: it is not the council [13:04:05] john cameron: it is a red route [13:04:59] Matt: The met did not put up the sign or make that road on the red route. All these things were dealt with by the local council. [13:05:08] Matt: We do not deal with this. [13:05:22] john cameron: do the met deal with traffic offences [13:05:28] Matt: You need to make the council aware. [13:05:39] john cameron: do the met deal with traffic offences [13:06:22] Matt: Sir I have advised you what you need to do in this instance. [13:06:36] john cameron: do the met deal with traffic offences, yes or no [13:06:46] Matt: The met would not deal in these circumstances. [13:06:57] john cameron: so the met do not deal with traffic offences [13:07:17] john cameron: you are saying that the met are happy for motorists to break the law [13:07:40] john cameron: and when there is a serious accident the met will say it was not our problem [13:07:54] john cameron: this doesn't appear to be a sustainable positions [13:08:32] john cameron: do you have an email address for the Commissioner of the Met [13:09:32] Matt: You have raised a issue and I have directed to the party responsible for the roads who can assist you with your issue. We have no control of this you need to make the council aware so they can wither put up cameras at the location or bar of the road in some way. [13:10:20] john cameron: so you are confirming that the met do not have responsibility for traffic offences. is that correct [13:11:13] john cameron: what is the point of the met having a website to report traffic offences if you don't do anything about them [13:11:32] john cameron: it seems like a waste of time and money, [13:12:17] Matt: What is it that you want the Met to do in relation to this particular issue ? [13:13:14] john cameron: investigate the traffic offences that I am reporting to you [13:13:48] john cameron: do the met have responsibility for traffic offences [13:14:03] Matt: Continue to complete the form which will go to our traffic unit for review. [13:14:17] Matt: Is there anything else I can assist with ? [13:14:37] john cameron: can you answer my question [13:14:52] john cameron: do the met have responsibility for traffic offences [13:14:57] john cameron: yes or no [13:16:06] Matt: If a road related traffic offence is reported to us our traffic unit reviews these. [13:16:19] Matt: I am not going to argue with you. [13:16:24] john cameron: you are avoiding the question [13:16:48] Matt: I have advised you of what to do and it is up to you if you wish to proceed or not. [13:17:04] john cameron: not arguing, you simply refuse to answer. the met either do or do not have responsibility for traffic offences [13:17:31] john cameron: do you have the email address for the Met Commissioner [13:20:17] Matt: there is no public email address for the commissioner [13:20:32] john cameron: Ok, I am sure I can find it, thanks, bye Agent Matt has left the chat.
