Plod And I have told you on many occasions that there has been no approval given by the SofS for Transport. But that did not sink in. All you did was claim that LA's could use ANPR in their car parks, but you never qualified that statement. Yes they can use ANPR for management purposes but not for enfocement and that was the crux of my point when using ANPR. To my knowledge, there is nowhere in ...
On the 3rd Sept at 18:06 lines 7-8 was your first claim that local authorities cannot enforce anything with ANPR. On 21 Sept at 20:41 in your final paragraph you make the same claim and again on 22nd Sept at 19:00 lines 1-2 and more recent on 5 Jan at 15:16 you claimed approved devices could only be used for on street enforcement. On 6 Jan at 09:29 in your final sentence you once again claim that ...
Lynne, I thought plod may have come in here, but I was wrong. However:- The income from on-street charging and any penalty charge payments received (whether for on-street or off-street enforcement) must only be used in accordance with section 55 (as amended) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
Plod, you appeared to me and others, that you are some sort of expert on this subject. It has now become clear to me anyway, that you have had crossed wires and not me. I general terms, (because I gather information from the correct sources) I always knew that ANPR is not used officially in any off street car park, but I wasn't going to play my hand on that score. There are many things for ...
I've been discussing ANPR generally and the fact that the secretary of state has delegated certification of approved ANPR & CCTV devices to the VCA. They do it in and under his name. If you were only concerned with DCC & Devon district councils it would have been helpful had you made this clear and specifically said local authorities in Devon cannot enforce their off street car parks using ...
A couple of questions. Is the revenue gained from Teignbridge owned car parks ring fenced for use on TDC car parks or can it be spent anyway TDC likes? How much does it cost TDC each year to maintain its car parks and from where does the required money come?
Seems there could be more to this with regard to Sunday parking charges. It has now become clear that TDC have decided to call a halt to the Sunday car boot sales at the cattle market car park in Newton Abbot. This would imply that a full return to Sunday parking charges on all TDCs car parks is on the cards via the back door. As said before Teignbridge councillors cannot be trusted, and the ...
Sometimes you can save substantial amounts by splitting your journey but staying on the same train. I have saved over £40 on two occasions this year. It doesn’t always work though, I think it depends on where and how far you are travelling. If I am travelling up to Manchester or Derbyshire I know to split my ticket at Bristol, Cheltenham and Birmingham New Street.
Plod For clarity please answer this question: In your opinion can a council enforce their off street car parks under the provisions of the Traffic Management Act 2004 using an ANPR device that has been certified/approved by the secretary of state (via the VCA)? If it has been certified - YES. But the VCA cannot certify anything off it's own back unless the Secretary of State for Transport has made ...
You last post is contradictory. In line 1 and 2 you state that ANPR can be used in LA's off street car parks for enforcement purposes providing it has been certified by the secretary of state (thus making it an approved device). But in lines 10 and 11 you say that LA's cannot use ANPR for enforcement purposes as only private parking companies can use them for enforcement purposes. For ...
