Solid evidence of our more responsive approach to parking controls in new figures, here’s the release put out by the Council yesterday.
Almost 85,000 fewer parking tickets were issued in Camden last year – a drop of more than 20 per cent – new figures out this week show.Parking penalty charge notices (PCNs) dropped from 404,675 in 2007/8 to 320,304 in 2008/9, figures released by London Councils show.
Improving parking services in Camden to make the system fairer and easier to understand for residents has been a top commitment for the Council. Cllr Chris Knight [Conservative - Ed], Camden Council’s Executive Member for Environment, said: “We said that we wanted to make parking in Camden fairer and easier to understand and the fall in tickets shows this is working. Camden is one of the busiest boroughs for traffic in London with extreme competing demands for parking.”We have a responsibility to enforce parking rules to make the borough’s roads safer for everyone who uses them, to protect scarce parking spaces for those who have a right to park there and to reduce congestion and keep traffic flowing.”
The number of motorists penalised in Camden for moving traffic offences, such as entering box junctions, also fell from 113,718 to 90,343 last year.The number of motorists caught driving in bus lanes dropped from 11,481 to 9,019.The total number of PCNs issued overall, including bus lane and moving traffic PCNs fell from 529,874 to 419,666.
The number of tickets issued by all London boroughs fell by the smaller margin of 11 per cent last year.
