What we found (1)

The Evening Standard reports a tribunal ruling against a Greenwich yellow box junction and gives the council's denial and its emergency services case plenty of space. Its headline puts the words 'wrongly placed' in quotation marks, though nobody in the article says them; the tribunal's own words were that the box is not substantially compliant with the legislative procedures.

    Minor

    “‘wrongly placed’”

    Why this matters
    The headline puts 'wrongly placed' in quotation marks, as if a tribunal or another named source had said it.
    The impression it gives
    A reader believes an official body ruled, in those words, that the box was put in the wrong place.
    The context
    Nobody in the article says 'wrongly placed'. The tribunal's words were that the box junction is not substantially compliant with the legislative procedures, because it extends beyond the junction. The council says it did not agree with that reasoning and that the box has been upheld by many adjudicators.

    How we know

    • Elsewhere in the article“the box junction is not substantially compliant with the legislative procedures”
    • Elsewhere in the article“The yellow box at this location has been upheld by many adjudicators.”
