Traffic Management Act 2004

With effect from 31 March 2008 all Parking Regulations in the Royal Borough are enforced under the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA). These guidelines and regulations have been brought in by the Government on a national basis.

The existing Parking Attendants now also called Civil Enforcement Officers will patrol and enforce the same areas as previously designated.

The major changes will be that there are now 2 levels of contravention amount depending on the severity of the contravention. The new amounts will be £60 (reducing to £30 if paid within 14 days for the more severe contraventions) and £40 (reducing to £20 if paid within 14 days for the remainder).
