Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Beer in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up,  totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a  ride!!"

Really interesting in the news today that the government is employing someone to see why shoppers are deserting local High Streets in droves...

Wouldn't have anything to do with over-the-top, revenue driven parking enforcement, would it?

(h) where notice is given to the Council or authorised agent, their consent is obtained in writing and any such conditions as they may impose are complied with.
The Traffic Management Act 2004 clearly places a statutory duty on local authorities.

[/font:1px8r7gg]
[/i]Maybe this need clarification?[/font:1px8r7gg]

Adjudicators have noticed that in some of the correspondence the council has claimed that the TMA provides an exemption from parking restrictions for a CCTV vehicle. This is not the case - there are NO provisions in the TMA or any of its regulations that create exemptions to parking restrictions in TROs for vehicles engaged in camera
enforcement."

How about this Bruce?

"It is agreed that London authorities are issued Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) as opposed to Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs). Please tell us where in the primary legislation (The Traffic management Act 2004) it provides for London authorities to give exemptions for CCTV enforcement cars under TMOs?

Ealing claim to get their exemptions from the "Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984"

Is there anything in that that they can, indeed, use?

(I have asked Ealing for the actual wording, as part of a FOI discussion that I am having with them over the vans in Wadsworth Road...)

Oh gawd, if you insist...

Dear Lee

It is agreed that authorities are issued Traffic Management Orders (TMOs) as opposed to Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs). Please tell me where in the primary legislation (The Traffic management Act 2004) it provides for authorities to give exemptions for CCTV enforcement cars under TMOs. In the absence of such evidence, your assertions are groundless and the CCTV cars have no legal exemptions from the usual regulations.

Even if it were a valid argument, you say exemptions only apply where “the vehicle is being used for fire brigade or police purpose or, not being a passenger vehicle[, is being used in the service of a local authority in pursuance of statutory powers”. I think it is safe to assume that the Toyoya IQ is a passenger car, unless you can provide evidence to the contrary. Thus, it does not qualify as an Exempted Vehicle.

In the light of the above, I believe that it would be very wise to ensure the MEVs are parked legally and not where prohibitions are in place for public safety and free traffic flow.

Regards 

Bruce

I reckon you should expect a whole lot of silence from them now that you appear to have once again backed them into a corner.
 
What we have to do now is see whether NSL change their behaviour when it comes to parking. If they no longer park where they would otherwise be liable to receive a ticket, score another one for the Mob.
 
Problem is we will never get the credit for it because that's the way these things work.
 
We prove them wrong, they change their practices, and no one apart from us and them are any the wiser.
 
But we'll know... ;) ;D

I agree. All of my recent FOIs re parking provisions for $cars seem to be taking a rather long time to get an answers to. How odd :-ev-: :-ev-:

I seem to emember that WCC/NSL were going to start single crewing their MEVs.
I don't suppose that in their twisted little minds they think that this will make the iQs/Smart cars non passenger carrying and therefore entitled to the exemption?
Just a thought......
