Councillor Krupa Sheth, Cabinet Member for Environment, introduced the report by stating that the Council was committed to providing a high quality parking service and a fair, consistent and transparent approach to parking and traffic enforcement. The purpose of the Parking Annual Report was to explain the aims and objectives of the Council’s Parking service and the key achievements of the 2017-2018 financial year. The report included a statistical analysis setting out information on the number of parking and traffic related Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued during the financial year 01 April 2017 to 31 March 2018, the revenue and expenditure recorded in the Parking Account, and how the surplus on this account had been allocated. 

The Report also meets a key requirement set out in the Statutory Guidance issued under the Traffic Management Act 2004. This requires local authorities to produce and publish an annual report on parking enforcement activities within six months of the end of the financial year.
