Parking Enforcement

From "Parking in Thanet"

Go to the project

We note daily examples of poor, dangerous and idiotic parking in and around our town and a scant visibility of any enforcement. Cars parked on pavements, obstructing junctions, on Bus Stops, Outside Schools - on yellow zig-zags and blatant misuse of Blue Permits and continue bafflement that this easy source of income for our Council seems largely ignored. Canterbury makes a big issue of the funds raised via parking charges in the city- Would our Council consider employing Traffic Wardens VISIBLY patrolling our streets and enforcing the law. Once the cost of employment is covered the balance would be a source of useful funding - YES?

I raised those issue in connection with weekend parking at The Lanthorne pub- received a feeble reply stating there would be enforcement - but I have YET to see evidence of this.....

We need fewer parking meters. That would stop cars trying to avoid paying for parking and instead parking on pavements, obstructing junctions, on Bus Stops, Outside Schools, on yellow zig-zags etc. Fewer parking meters equals safer towns.
