A Bill to empower local authorities to introduce Workplace Parking Levies with immediate effect and to impose penalty charges for moving traffic contraventions
House of Lords
5 May 2021
This Lords bill would give local councils the power to introduce Workplace Parking Levies with immediate effect and to impose penalty charges for moving traffic contraventions. In effect, councils could require employers with parking spaces to pay a levy to fund transport improvements, and they would also be able to levy penalties on certain moving traffic offences. The aim is to equip local authorities with stronger tools to manage congestion and support safer, cleaner streets.
The Bill is at the 2nd Reading in the House of Lords. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage, then further readings, and, if approved, proceed to the House of Commons for consideration.
