Purpose

To consider approving an application to the Department for Transport for moving traffic enforcement powers using cameras and to proceed with the implementation of ten initial sites, noting the outcome of the recent parking and moving traffic contravention exercise.

Decision

1. That delegated authority be given to the Director of Environment and Property, in consultation with the Cabinet member, to submit the Council’s application to the Department for Transport (DfT) for powers to enforce moving traffic offences under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act (TMA) 2004.
2. That, subject to DfT granting these powers, the implementation of traffic enforcement measures at the eight identified locations, to address moving traffic contraventions which will enhance road safety and reduce instances of obstructive parking, particularly outside schools, be approved.
