| Traffic Management Act
2004 |
|
The current legislation
under which the Council operates Decriminalized Parking Enforcement
is about to change. On 31st March 2008 the Traffic Management Act
2004 (TMA) came into force.
Under the TMA, Decriminalized
Parking Enforcement has become Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE).
Parking Attendants have become known as Civil Enforcement Officers
(CEOs).
Changes to previous
operations:
-
Differential parking penalties
depending on the seriousness of the contravention. Parking
Penalties are no longer £60.00. There are now
two charge bands. £70.00 (discounted to £35.00 if
paid within 14 days) for more serious contraventions and £50.00
(discounted to £25.00 is paid within 14 days) for less serious
contraventions.
-
Details of procedures for
representations and appeals are printed on the Penalty Charge
Notice (PCN).
-
We have the power to serve a
PCN by post if the CEO has started to issue it but driver leaves
with the vehicle before it can be served.
