Waste of time without proper enforcement in place
From "Parking in Thanet"
Go to the project
None of the parking review suggestions will make a difference unless Thanet District Council employs lots of Parking Enforcement Officers. They will need at least 20 to cover all towns and villages in Thanet, especially with all the new homes being built and all the extra vehicles that will bring in. It is already chaos in Thanet a lot of the time with dangerous parking seen daily on street and on pavements by persistent offenders, TDC need to get a grip on this 'now', and as their top priority within the Parking office.
You can have all the parking regulations you like but it seems ridiculous to think they can enforce all this without a largely increased team of parking officers. Regulations just on their own are simply not enough to make any difference at all.

Agree. TDC also lose revenue from a lack of enforcement.

@samara jones-hall yes of course, but I understand the revenue from parking fines is ring-fenced, meaning it can only be used for parking issues. But that is fine as there is a lot that needs sorting out there. Officer wages, equipment, abandoned vehicles removal. etc.
Increase enforcement officers, increase productivity, simple really. Now what does TDC have to say on this?
