RoadPeace is the national charity for road crash victims in the UK. We provide information and support services to people bereaved or seriously injured in road crashes and engage in evidence based policy and campaigning work to fight for justice for victims and reduce road danger.
Set up in 1992 by a mother whose son was killed by a red light offender, we are a membership organisation whose work is informed by the needs and experiences of road crash victims.
Since 1995 local authorities in England have been allowed to control parking enforcement in their areas from the police, with almost all local authorities having now assumed these powers. In 2013 the Government introduced changes to the use of CCTV to enforce parking restrictions, including a new 10 minutes’ grace period and the right to challenge local parking policies.
In 2017, motoring research charity the RAC Foundation highlighted that English councils made a record £819 million from parking operations during the 2016-17 financial year - a 10 percent increase on the 2015/16 surplus of £744 million. In addition, campaigners have criticised councils for imposing heavy-handed fines and fees.
Responding to the findings, Martin Tett, the Local Government Association’s transport spokesman, claimed councils must “strike a balance” when setting charges in a bid to ensure there are parking spaces available.
He said: “(Parking charges) help not only keep the roads clear but keep pedestrians, motorists and cyclists safe and ensure people can park near their homes and local shops.
“Income raised through on-street parking charges is spent on running parking services and any surplus is only spent on essential transport projects, such as tackling our national £12 billion roads repair backlog and creating new parking spaces.”
Against this backdrop of intense scrutiny, new technology is radically changing the parking sector providing local authority parking services with the opportunity to adapt to increasing expectations of an efficient, user-friendly service, and at a time of huge pressure to reduce costs, forward-looking local authorities are implementing smart parking to improve services for customers and reduce operating costs.
Furthermore, the adoption of the Positive Parking Agenda initiative allows local authorities to focus on parking management rather than just enforcement.
With new technology and innovation changing the way parking services are managed and delivered, and with parking playing an increasingly important role in creating and maintaining attractive, safe and healthy communities. This timely CEPHAS Public Policy Communications symposium provides an invaluable opportunity for local authorities, central government and businesses to identify ways councils can work with government and industry to ensure parking and traffic management delivers a high-quality customer experience and enable them to be prepared for an increasingly technological future.
