Written question asked by Lord Bradshaw (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 10 January 2018, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 24 January 2018. It was answered by Baroness Sugg (Conservative) on Wednesday, 24 January 2018 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Road Traffic Offences: Enforcement

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much they estimate it would cost a local authority, or local authorities acting together, in England to implement civil enforcement powers under the Traffic Management Act 2004, covering 100,000 people.

Answer

The Department for Transport does not produce estimates of this kind. Local authorities are responsible for considering the financial implications of civil enforcement when deciding whether to apply for these powers. Their estimates will reflect a range of local factors, such as geography, road use, parking demand, specific traffic issues and the proposed intensity of enforcement.
