What do the new Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) legislations mean to motorists and the parking industry?
Most motorists will not notice any real change to on-street parking, apart from the differential charges, but there is a real shift in the philosophy aimed at making the regulations appear more legitimate and introducing greater transparency and fairness for all – not just the motorist. The parking industry will benefit from the greater transparency, and hopefully recognition that this is not all about income generation, but proper management of the streets in the UK, where 30 million cars are registered.
