In this month’s Parking News, BPA chief executive Patrick Troy calls on the government to implement traffic regulations introduced more than seven years ago
Master Plan sets out a range of issues that we feel the government should act on to improve and enhance the services that our members provide for the public. Tey include regulation of the private parking sector, reviewing decisions around charging in hospital car parks and looking at the penalty charge level that applies in different parts of the United Kingdom. In due course we will be
S
reporting on the progress of the Master Plan, although things look very good in terms of delivery. But the two areas we are pressing the government to concentrate upon at the moment are: to conclude their review of the penalty charge around the UK; and to deliver the provisions
ome of you may remember that we launched our Master Plan for Parking last July at the President’s Reception. Te
contained in the Traffic Management Act (TMA) relating to the enforcement of moving traffic contraventions. In respect of the latter, these powers
have been available in London since the middle of the last decade – and I should know, because I was involved in piloting them at Transport for London (TfL) in 2004-2005. Yet successive governments have still not implemented these powers, contained in an act passed by Parliament in 2004. Surely, seven years on, the case for implementing the powers to enforce moving traffic contraventions outside London is ever more convincing. Tere is good news from Wales,
where the Welsh Assembly is intending to implement these provisions soon, but the government in Westminster needs to recognise that, in many cities around England, there is an urgent need to address the problems created by congestion and road safety hazards. Tere is no sense in delaying these powers. It seems a nonsense that the case was made in London several years ago but that the case for other major metropolitan areas hasn’t been listened to. Trough these pages we call for the
Calling London… Westminister must implement its powers on moving traffic contraventions now
government to recognise the importance of implementing these provisions quickly, to use the experience in London to speed up the regulatory process and to introduce these regulations as a matter of urgency.
