Parking Enforcement |
Garry Taylor / Cllr Ravilious |
Costs of service / Income generated - scope to improve? Can we offer services to private land owners? Activity across entire local authority area - How many enforcement officers do we have, how many fines issued, which areas of their city are they issued in, how often are Res Park zones visited. A view of this over the last 5 - 10 years would be helpful for identifying trends. · Position on pavement parking · Consistency of enforcement (seen officers apply different limits to Double Yellow Lines) · Hotline performance - how many reports logged, how many of these received visits in a timely manner (or at all) · Out-of-hours drop in provision due to over-stretched Police unable to prioritise parking |
