Council forced to refund drivers £100,000 in fines due to confusing road sign blunder

A confusing road sign outside a school has cost a local council more than £100,000 in refunds to fined drivers.

Cars are banned from driving outside Henry Cavendish primary school in Balham, south west London, during school collection times every weekday.

New signage by Lambeth Council told drivers not to use a short section of the road during 8.15am and 9.15am and 2.45pm and 3.45pm, but many argued it was not obvious the area was closed during these times.
