This good practice guide provides information to local authorities on parking operations and enforcement. This guidance sets out the policy framework within which the Government believes that all local authorities in England should be setting their parking policies and, if appropriate, enforcing these policies. It aims to inform all English local authorities of any changes to parking policy and enforcement. Revisions to this latest edition include the most up-to-date information on double parking and parking at dropped kerbs, and application for a CEA designation order. This Operational Guidance: advises all English enforcement authorities of the procedures that they must follow, the procedures to which they must have regard and the procedures; that the Government recommends they follow when enforcing parking restrictions; tells those English local authorities who have not yet done so of the scope for taking over parking regulation enforcement from the police, and how to go about it; tells members of the public, as well as local authorities, about parking policies and their enforcement.
