Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport
Minutes:
31.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport. It was clarified that the power referred only to School Keep Clear markings. Those present discussed the most appropriate date to begin enforcement of Regulation 10 PCNs, given the need to communicate changes with schools and parents.
DECISION
31.2 RESOLVED (1) to authorise the use of the powers in the Traffic Management Act 2004 and regulations made under it for the enforcement by the County Council of Regulation 10 Vehicle Drive Away Penalty Charge Notices on School Keep Clear markings; and
(2) to authorise the use of the powers from 1 April 2017, with any Regulation 10 postal PCN being enforced from the start of the autumn term in September 2017.
Reasons
31.3 The facility to issue Regulation 10 PCNs will have a positive effect on the ability to enforce parking restrictions and reduce the number of vehicles parking on school keep clear restrictions.
31.4 By deferring the enforcement of Regulation 10 PCNs, schools will have the opportunity to communicate the changes with parents and guardians.
