KHAN MUST COME CLEAN OVER A20 FINES: IF MOTORISTS WERE WRONGLY PENALISED, GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY BACK
FairFuelUK demands full transparency over the A20 speed-limit controversy involving more than 66,000 drivers and over £6 million in fines
We are calling on London Mayor Sadiq Khan to explain exactly what happened over the controversial temporary speed restriction on the A20 and to support a fully independent investigation.
Reports say Transport for London reduced the A20 speed limit from 70mph to 40mph in October 2023, with more than 66,000 drivers subsequently fined before the limit was restored. Fines reportedly raised more than £6 million.
The controversy has intensified after reports that a motorist was acquitted after a court considered evidence that raised questions about whether the official who approved the change had the necessary authority. Sadiq Khan and TfL deny wrongdoing and maintain that the orders were lawful.
FairFuelUK says this makes an independent, transparent examination even more important.
Howard Cox, Founder of FairFuelUK and Transport Spokesman for Restore Britain, said:
“Motorists are expected to obey the law. They have every right to expect Sadiq Khan and TfL to do the same.”
“This isn't about defending speeding. Road safety must always come first. This is about due process, transparency, and whether tens of thousands of ordinary motorists were treated fairly.”
“More than 66,000 drivers and over £6 million in fines are reportedly involved. That is far too serious to be brushed aside.
“Sadiq Khan should come clean and support a genuinely independent investigation into exactly what happened, who authorised the restriction and whether every penalty was properly and lawfully imposed.
“And if that investigation establishes that motorists were wrongly fined, there should be no excuses and no bureaucratic obstacle course. Refund their money.”
“For far too long, drivers have felt they are treated as an easy source of revenue. Authorities rightly demand that motorists comply with every rule imposed upon them. Those same authorities must therefore be absolutely accountable for the legality and fairness of the penalties they impose.”
#FairFuelUK is calling for:
A fully independent investigation into the A20 speed-limit controversy.
Full disclosure of the relevant decision-making and authorisation.
A clear explanation from Sadiq Khan and TfL of when concerns about the restriction's legality became known.
An examination of the penalties imposed on affected motorists.
Reimbursement if those penalties are ultimately established to have been wrongly or unlawfully imposed.
Howard Cox added:
“This could not be simpler. If the fines were legally and properly imposed, demonstrate it transparently. If they weren't, apologise and repay the drivers. Motorists deserve answers.”

Official Report Into LTNs
A low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) scheme resulted in “no significant traffic reduction” but increased congestion on boundary roads.

3 hours so far of being harmed outside the LTNs …. It does not evaporate…. The closets hospital here has London’s most patients with breathing difficulties. The hospital is surrounded by LTNs in all boroughs. LTNs are killing us for a hobby … @PGCommunity@BetterSt4Enf@JourneysPlaces
So Oxford street is now the perfect place for some cycling thugs to intimidate vulnerable pedestrians…..
Crush any bike using this pedestrian only place … any vehicle too passing this point
