Changes in Parking Enforcement from 31 March 2008

From 31 March the legislation covering how parking is enforced will change. Regulations made under the Road Traffic Act 1991 will be replaced by the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA).

The aim of the Guidance is to steer local governments into providing an open and fair parking enforcement policy whilst adopting clear and prescribed guidelines for dealing with parking contraventions.

Haringey Council has been proactive in this area and has already implemented many of the elements laid out in the TMA.

What will change?

• Parking attendants will now be referred to as Civil Enforcement Officers
• Local Authorities are now required to publish their policies online.
• The wording on the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) will be changed to reflect the TMA
• There will be an increase in the time allowed to pay a static CCTV Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) at the reduced rate from 14 to 21 days.
• To reduce abuse of the Blue Badge scheme, which gives parking concessions to disabled people, powers have been introduced for civil enforcement officers to inspect the validity of Blue Badges. A number of successful operations have already been jointly undertaken with the Metropolitan Police.
• Local authorities will be expected to provide more detailed information on how to appeal or challenge a PCN
