Chief Adjudicator’s
Foreword
I am pleased to present to
the Committee this joint report of the Parking Adjudicators for the year
2007-2008.
The most important event
this year, although it only occurred on 31 March 2008, the last day of the year
covered by the report, was the introduction of parking enforcement under the
Traffic Management Act 2004, replacing enforcement under the Road Traffic Act
1991. We deal in detail with this development below. Enforcement of other
matters under the 2004 Act – bus lanes, moving violations and the London lorry ban – has
not yet been introduced. Enforcement of those contraventions therefore
continues under the existing legislation. This means we continue with several
different regimes operating in parallel. This is less than satisfactory. It has
never been clear to us why enforcement under the 2004 Act could not be
introduced for all contraventions together. Until these other contraventions
are enforced under that Act, a principle aim since the legislation was enacted
four years ago, a single coherent enforcement regime, will not be achieved.
This year we received
64,072 appeals, the highest number ever. At present there is no sign of the
increase abating.
