    Parking Enforcement in South Gloucestershire

    Annual Report

    July 2007 June 2008

    A report on the aims, objectives and achievements of the Parking Services Team of Highwaysand Transportation section, Planning, Transportation & the Strategic Environment, SouthGloucestershire Council

    Background and History

    South Gloucestershire Council received Decriminalised Parking Enforcementstatus effective from the 2 July 2007. Previously all Parking Enforcement hadbeen carried out by the Police and Community Support Officers of Avon andSomerset Constabulary Traffic Wardens having ceased to operate in the

    district in March 2005.

    Civil Enforcement Officers (Parking Attendants) employed by the Council areauthorised to enforce any Parking restriction created by a Traffic RegulationOrder raised under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, the enforcement ofother offences, such as Obstructing the Highway and any moving trafficviolations remaining with the local Police Force.

    This report identifies the achievements of the first twelve month period,including the transition to working under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act2004 made on the 31 March 2008. It is intended that subsequent reports will

    run annually from April of each year and will be published as soon as figurescan be collated. It is intended that this report will place Parking Enforcementin a wider context and begin to show how encouraging greater compliancewith Parking Restrictions improves traffic flow, eases congestion, reducescrime on our Off-Street Car Parks and improves road safety, to do this thisyear's report attempts to set a benchmark from which future yearsachievements can be assessed.

    Contact information and where to find further information is given at the end ofthis report.

    The Traffic Management Act 2004

    On the 2 July 2007 the Council started using Decriminalised ParkingEnforcement powers contained within the Road Traffic Act 1991 andemployed Parking Attendants to patrol the streets. On the 31 March 2008those parts of the Road Traffic Act 1991 that affected parking enforcementceased to have an effect and were replace by Part 6 of the Traffic

    Management Act 2008. Parking Enforcement now became Civil ParkingEnforcement, and Parking Attendants were re-titled Civil Enforcement Officersor CEOs (although they continue to be identified as employed in ParkingEnforcement) and the area covered by the enforcement regime became aCivil Parking Area.

    Although Parking Attendants became CEOs under the new legislation theycontinue to be identified as Parking Attendants on their uniform to clearlyshow that they are employed in parking enforcement in the district.

    Structure (Establishment & Management)

    All Parking Services staff and any staff employed in Parking Enforcement ormanagement are directly employed by South Gloucestershire Council.

    The Council employs twelve Civil Enforcement Officers lead by two SeniorCEOs in two teams running working throughout the day and covering the

    district seven days a week. The Council also employs a further 4 CaseOfficers, filling three full time posts supervised by one Senior Case Officer.

    The Parking Services operates within the Highways and Transportationsection of the Planning Transportation and the Strategic EnvironmentDirectorate of the Council. The team is managed by the Parking Manager.

    No bonus payments are made to any staff and the issuing of Penalty ChargeNotices for the contravention of parking restrictions is not linked to any awardor reward system.

    Less than 3% of the total road network in the district is subject to a parkingrestriction with the primary and secondary enforcement area indicated in blueand orange on the district map below. All Primary areas are patrolled dailywith Secondary areas being patrolled between 2 to 4 times a week.

    South Gloucestershire Council works in partnership with the HighwaysAgency for the enforcement of Trunk Roads in the District.

    This map is for indicative purposes only and patrols visit other areas ondemand or on a random basis.

    Off Street Car Parks

    The Council provides 30 off-street car parks subject to parking regulations.

    A table detailing the facilities available can be found at the end of this reportalong with information on maintenance costs etc.

    South Gloucestershire Council does not charge for any parking in either on-street parking places or in its off-street car parks.

    Car Park Crime in South Gloucestershire 2007/08

    This report looks at crime in car parks in South Gloucestershire and aims toset a baseline for future comparisons to examine the implications of newlegislation. Future versions of this report can be used to compare whetherlevels of crime in our car parks and urban areas have risen or fallen followingthe introduction of this new legislation.

    Table 1 below looks at all car park crime in South Gloucestershire and breaksit down by type of offence. The figures are taken from Avon and SomersetPolice and include all crimes where car park was recorded as the location ofthe offence and therefore includes crime in private car parks and car parks notpatrolled by South Gloucestershire Councils Civil Enforcement Officers. 30%(131 offences) of all offending in car parks in the area is theft from a motorvehicle, with criminal damage representing 24% (107 offences). There havealso been a range of other offences in car parks including theft offences, drug-related offences and theft of pedal cycles.

    Table 2 below shows crimes that have happened in car parks in the mainpopulation centre of South Gloucestershire, as defined by neighbourhoodPolice beat. Patchway has had the largest number of crimes in its car parksover the year (88 offences, 20% of all car park crime) with Kingswood second(44 offences, 10% of total). Staple Hill and Chipping Sodbury have both had asmall number of offences recorded as occurring in their car parks, with 14offences (3%) and 7 offences (2%) respectively.

    with subsequent changes in levels over time to give an idea of changingpatterns of vehicle crime in these areas.

    Criminal damage to a motor vehicle is the most frequent vehicle-relatedoffence in these areas (1056 offences), followed by theft from a motor vehicle(887 offences). Theft of a motor vehicle represents 435 offences whilstvehicle interference represents 145 offences.

    The largest number of vehicle-related offences have been recorded inKingswood (515 offences) in 2007/08, followed by Yate (471 offences). Thesmallest number of vehicle-related offences were recorded in Chipping

    Sodbury over the year (82 offences).

    POLICY

    South Gloucestershire parking policy is lead by the Joint Local Transport Plan(the JLTP), a partnership agreement between South Gloucestershire Council,Bristol City Council, Bath and North East Somerset Council and NorthSomerset Council, and driven by the shared priorities of improvingCongestion, Road Safety, Air Quality and Accessibility.

    Parking restrictions, and therefore the enforcement of those restrictions, aredesigned:

    To improve traffic flow and relieve congestion;

    To ensure safety for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles;

    To improve access to Businesses and our wider community;

    To ensure a fair use of limited parking spaces;

    To improve our environment;

    To encourage, where appropriate, the use of alternative modes oftransport.

    The JLTP includes a Parking Action Plan Hierarchy setting out guidelines onthe imposition of parking restrictions in a range of situations across the districtand ensuring a consistency of approach across the wider area.

    Through the JLTP with our partner Councils of Bristol, Bath and North East

    Somerset and North Somerset we aim to reduce congestion and make realimprovements to road safety, accessibility and air quality throughout ourregion. Traffic flow through South Gloucestershire is already amongst thehighest in the Country and is predicted to grow significantly, by adopting a co-ordinated approach to traffic management with our neighbours we will best beable to meet the challenge that faces the district.

    The Council is guided by all possible Best Practise with regard to access fordisabled or disadvantaged groups when designing traffic schemes or inproviding off-street Car Parking

    The Council is currently formulating a Policy on the potential introduction anduse of residents and other Parking Permit Schemes.

    Road Safety

    Parking restrictions, and therefore the enforcement of those restrictions, areintended to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and discourage oreliminate instances of dangerous parking where the visibility of other roadusers or pedestrians is adversely effected.

    Regular patrols in our on and off-street parking areas will also help to maintaina safe environment in our communities and attract visitors to local facilities.

    It is intended that over time a clear and improving trend will be shown to resultfrom our Enforcement activities.

    Tables indicating our current achievements are given at the end of this reportalong with information on the number of assaults experienced by CivilEnforcement Officers and Parking Attendants enforcing parking restrictions onbehalf of the Council.

    Parking Attendants are frequently subjected to verbal abuse and intimidationwhile on patrol, often requiring Police action or support. Parking Services hasa very good working relationship with local Police stations, individual officersand Police Community Support Officers. In the twelve month period thatSouth Gloucestershire Council has employed a team of 12 Officers to enforceparking restrictions in the district there have been 24 cases of verbal ofphysical assault during which the Parking Attendant or Civil EnforcementOfficer has had to call for support, resulting in three Police Fixed PenaltyNotices being issued and one Police Caution. A list of the locations of theseassaults is given at the end of this report.

    Targets & Performance

    The Council took parking enforcement powers on the 2 July 2007 and patrolscommenced on that day. As part of the gradual and well publicisedintroduction of the new regime only warning notices were issued by ParkingAttendants until the 25th of the month when the first Penalty Charge Notice

    was issued at 08:00 in Kingswood. Over the period July to the end of Marchand the introduction of Civil Parking Enforcement a total of 6174 PCNs issuedof which 78% were paid (within a national range of 40% to 84% reported bythe Parking Benchmarking Initiative 2007) 88% being paid at the reduced rate(see tables at the end of the report for a detailed breakdown).

    The first warrants were issued to Bailiffs in April 2008 with 5.41% of issuebeing passed to bailiffs to date. Early indications suggest an averagecollection rate of between 5% and 15% of PCNs passed for debt collection.

    Legislation allows for two levels of Representations (appeals) against the

    issue of a PCN to be heard by the Council with a third appeal heard by anindependent Tribunal the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.

    Appeals or Representations to the Council over the period run at 23% of issue(within a national range of 3% to 49% of issue nationally PBI 2007) with43% of appeals being allowed and the PCN cancelled.

    Appeals to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal (formerly the National ParkingAdjudication Service or NPAS) accounted for 0.54% of issue against anational range of 0% to 15% of issue (Parking Benchmark Initiative - PBI). Ofthese 42% were allowed by the Adjudicator or not contested by the Council

    (because the appellant supplied, late, previously unseen evidence) comparedto a national average of 42% (from National Parking Adjudication ServiceAnnual Report for 2005).

    All challenges and representations made to the Council against the issue of aPCN were responded to within 10 working days.

    Over the period June 2007 to May 2008 inclusive Civil Enforcement Officersissued an average of 0.80 PCNs per hour patrolled against a PBI range of 1.1to 0.24 per hour.

    Finance

    The financial predictions for the introduction of parking enforcement in SouthGloucestershire suggested a breakeven point at year three after introductionand we remain committed to meeting that target.

    The end of the first financial period for the year 2007/08 saw an operationaldeficit of 190,688.72 and this shortfall was financed entirely from existingHighways and Transportation budgets.

    South Gloucestershire Council does not charge for any of its Off Streetparking facilities nor does it make any charge for On Street parking at anylocation.Similarly no paid-for Permits, Waivers or exemptions are issued or available inthe District.

    Best Practise

    All Civil Enforcement Officers and back office Case Officers working for SouthGloucestershire have gained a City and Guilds qualification in ParkingEnforcement as well as ongoing attendance at a wide range of related traininginitiatives.

    South Gloucestershire Councils Parking Services works closely with nationalParking and Traffic Enforcement forums ensuring that the District benefitsfrom the Best Practise found across the country and at the same timemaintaining a modern, consistent and dynamic approach to parkingenforcement with South Gloucestershire contributing to the national debate on

    improved standards and practises.

    New Initiatives

    From the 31 March 2008 the Traffic Management Act 2004 (the TMA)introduced the concept of Higher and Lower Penalty Charges so as to makethe Penalties for contraventions more clearly reflect the seriousness of theact. All PCN issue after the 31st is broken down accordingly in the tables atthe end of this report.

    The TMA introduced two new contraventions, parking across dropped curbs

    and parking more than 50cm from the curb that can be enforced without theneed to raise a Traffic Regulation Order. Because the legal positionsurrounding the signing of these restrictions is unclear South GloucestershireCouncil has not considered how to enforce the restrictions yet and is delayingany introduction in the district until the legal position is clarified.

    CEOs can now issue Penalty Charge Notices through the post where a drivereither threatens them or drives away without accepting the issued PCN. Thischange closes a loophole allowing a small number of offenders to escapewithout penalty for their anti-social behaviour.

    Postal PCNs can also be issued from evidence gained from CCTV. SouthGloucestershire Council is considering the introduction of mobile cameras tobe used in priority areas such as the front of schools etc where uniform patrolshave not proved to be effective.

    Conclusion

    The introduction of Decriminalised, now referred to as Civil ParkingEnforcement, in South Gloucestershire has allowed the Council to ensure thatparking restrictions created by the Council in consultation with localcommunities are effective and fit for purpose. From feedback received formthe public it is already clear that Parking Services are providing a valuable

    enforcement tool in dealing with the anti-social behaviour of inconsiderate anddangerous parking.

    Performance figures are already falling within the top two quartiles ofbenchmarked national data and early finance figures suggest that the Servicewill become self sufficient within the projected timescales and will not be along term drain on Public funds.
