answer text <p>Almost all local authorities in England have now taken on civil enforcement powers for parking and bus lane contraventions, and the Department for Transport is engaged in discussions with several local authorities which have not yet adopted these powers but are interested in doing so. It is for each local authority to determine how it wishes to apply these powers, subject to the restrictions of legislation and statutory guidance. The Department has no current plans to enable local authorities outside London to take on civil enforcement powers for moving traffic offences, which are a matter for the police.</p> more like this

The funding includes £420 million for local highways maintenance, as announced in the Budget 2018.
