Adoption of enforcement powers under part 6 of the Traffic Management Act

Purpose of Report: The report will inform the Executive of the new enforcement powers for Local Authorities under part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.

- Consider and make a decision to explore undertaking a pilot on selected powers (including finance model) in discrete locations to ensure the public are engaged, are aware of the implications and technology and enforcement methodology.
