Councillor Mrs Hunwicks introduced the proposed restrictions to control the repair of vehicles on the public highway.

RESOLVED

That the level of fixed penalty notices shall be set at £100 per penalty notice where it is considered that a person has committed an offence under Part 2 of section 4 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.

Reporting Person – Douglas Spinks

The Executive received a report which sought approval of the Executive to recommend to Council the introduction of a fixed penalty notice for nuisance parking offences relating to repairing a car on the road in the course of a business.  It was confirmed that the proposals included individuals where the carrying out of restricted works gave reasonable cause for annoyance to persons in the vicinity.  Following a question, the Executive was advised that there was no legislation preventing a car being legally parked on the highway which had been, or was awaiting being, repaired at a garage.

REcommended to Council

That the level of fixed penalty notices shall be set at £100 per penalty notice where it is considered that a person has committed an offence under Part 2 of section 4 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.

Reason:   The proposed penalty of £100 is in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005.
