NEW PARKING
REGULATIONS DUE March 31st 2008
The
consultation
for the new parking regulations has missed two major points of interest
to the motorist.
1. Tickets no longer have to be on the vehicle
2. More extensive use of CCTV
Would you vote for the Transport Minister next time?

THE REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF VEHICLES (AMENDMENT) (ENGLAND) REGULATIONS
2007 No. 3484

THE CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING CONTRAVENTIONS (APPROVED DEVICES)

THE CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OF PARKING CONTRAVENTIONS (GUIDELINES ON
LEVELS OF CHARGES) (ENGLAND) ORDER 2007 No. 3487
Description
2.1 These three sets of Regulations and two Orders (all of which
apply only to England) have been made and laid by the Secretary
of State for Transport. They should be read together with the
Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) Representations
and Appeals Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/3482) (“the Representations
and Appeals Regulations”), which were subject to the affirmative
procedure. This package of statutory instruments is designed to
implement Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 in relation
to the civil enforcement of parking controls by civil enforcement
officers acting on behalf of local authorities, rather than under
the criminal law by police officers or police traffic wardens.
2.2 The set of draft Regulations should be read as a whole, and
with the Representation and Appeals Regulations. The draft Regulations
set out procedures to improve national consistency by giving new
powers to authorities outside London currently only held by those
in London. The draft Regulations also set out new clamping procedures,
camera enforcement, differential parking charges and certain increased
discount periods.
Implementation and Delivery Plan
50. It is our intention that the affirmative Regulations will
be laid before Parliament in mid 2007. Once these have been approved,
all the negative resolution statutory instruments will be laid
before Parliament.
51. Subject to Parliamentary scrutiny procedures, it is our intention
that the Regulations will come into force in early 2008. This
will allow an appropriate implementation period for enforcement
authorities to prepare for the changes and adapt to the new requirements
before the proposals take effect.
