Looking for as many cases as I can find from all over the British Isles on refunds given from ALL camera / people errors.

Also are stat figures adjusted when these errors are uncovered or do they let them stand.

Starting in Dorset at Folly Bottom in Chideock, Dorset. here and by the Dorset safety Camera Partnership here.

And discussed here by HonestJohn...
and here in Thisisdorset

OK perhaps I've missed out that I am looking for ALL reports that you can help me find where Cameras Partnerships, Gastso's, (etc) have had to return points and fines ...
There have been many reports, but there are lots out there, and I doubt I can find ALL of them myself.
So if anyone can help me, or point me in the right direction that would be great ...
Even going back over the entire last 17 yrs ... I want to find as many as possible ...

My Patch!
In Hampshire there were 16 cases win eastern way western way A27, no refunds. (signing)
Mile end Road, 1 win no refunds. hundreds of wrongfull tickets. (signing)
Millbrook rd around 15 wins 35 waiting to be overturned, no refunds. Hundreds of wrongfull tickets. (signing)
outside fareham college about 250 overturned as the 30 limit was actualy a 40 TRO.

Hampshire dont like doing refunds.

No, they will never admit they might be wrong.
