Parking Restrictions Across Leicestershire

On the 31st March 2008 part of the Traffic Management Act 2004 (TMA 2004) came into force replacing the Road Traffic Act 1991, the legislation under which the County Council with the Borough and District Councils has operated Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE) since July 2007.

Under the TMA 2004, Decriminalised Parking Enforcement will become known as Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) and Parking Attendants will become known as Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs).

The Government also requires councils to introduce a two-tier parking charge system. There will be two different levels of charges, depending on the parking offence. A £50 fine will be issued for 'lower level' contraventions, such as parking for longer than restrictions permit, while motorists will receive a £70 fine for 'higher level' contraventions, which could include parking on double yellow lines and parking in a taxi rank.

A complete review of all existing parking restrictions was carried out to ensure they were enforceable and entered into a mapping system which can be viewed below.
