This bill would give local authorities the power to introduce Workplace Parking Levies with immediate effect, charging employers who provide workplace parking spaces. It would also allow local authorities to impose civil penalty charges for moving traffic contraventions, rather than using criminal penalties. In simple terms, councils would have new tools to manage parking and certain road traffic offences.
The bill is currently at the 2nd Reading stage in the Lords. It originated in the Lords, with the first reading having taken place on 29 January 2020, and there are no further stage details provided in the current information.
