The Police still retain the powers to enforce moving traffic contraventions; in effect they will become dual enforced. If a motorist is issued a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) for the same contravention, double jeopardy applies and the Police FPN takes precedence over the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) which will be cancelled by the Local Authority on production of evidence.
Once powers are enacted to enforce moving traffic contraventions, will the Police cease to enforce these in the borough?
