Decriminalisation of Parking Enforcement


A busy evening last night, I attended the Warwick area committee where they were discussing changes to the way parking is managed across our towns. This is where Parking Enforcement moves from the Police to the Council. This will involve residents parking zones, new road markings and enforcement.


I have been interested in this for some time and am pleased to see that some of the comments residents made to me have been considered in the proposals.


Of course whilst everyone involved has made every effort to ensure the changes take place smoothly, once people are deprived of their illegal spaces and the free for all we currently have, chaos will ensue for a while until it all settles down. There will then be a review to iron out the knock on effects. These changes are set to be introduced in August 2007.


Details of the plans can be found on the Warwickshire County Councils Website.
