Public Consultation Introduction

The Department for Transport (DfT) has recently announced that local authorities will be empowered to enforce Moving Traffic Contraventions (MTCs) as outlined in part six of the Traffic Management Act 2004.

The enforcement of certain restrictions can play a part in delivering corporate objectives such as improving road safety, cutting congestion and pollution, enabling more walking and cycling, and creating more pleasant places to live and work in.

 

It should be noted that the police will retain the power to take enforcement action where they consider it appropriate to do so and their action takes primacy against any action the council may also take.
