Civil Parking Enforcement
Parking enforcement is undertaken to
keep roads safe and traffic flowing and to safeguard the interests
of residents, including Blue Badge holders. A regular turnaround of
parking spaces will encourage visitors, and ensure that traders and
residents can go about their business conveniently and without
frustrating delays caused by illegal parking.
From 31 March 2008 the Kent Local
Authorities are operating new parking regulations called Civil
Parking Enforcement.
The policy guidance represents a basis for fairness and
discretion to be applied in the enforcement of Penalty Charge
Notices
The policy guidelines cover:
- Observation times for enforcement staff
- The statutory grounds upon which representations may be made to
the Council
- Mitigating circumstances
- The acceptance or rejection of representations
These policies are for guidance in considering parking
appeals and challenges and are continually reviewed and
revised as necessary. Each case is considered on its own merits
