answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2023 answer text <p>Around 98% of local authorities have the power to undertake civil parking enforcement, including Enfield Council. Local authorities with these powers can use CCTV cameras to enforce parking on a ‘Keep Clear’ zig-zag area outside a school.</p><p>London councils already have powers to civilly enforce moving traffic contraventions, including school street restrictions, which are signed using 'no motor vehicle' or 'pedestrian and cycle zone' signs. Since 31 May 2022, local authorities outside London have been able to apply to the Department to be granted the same powers, by Designation Order. Twelve authorities received the powers last year, and we have laid a second Order in Parliament which will come into force on 22nd July 2023 giving the powers to a further 40 authorities. The department is currently accepting applications for a third such Order.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 12/07/2023 15:28:08 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
