Parking: Gloucester
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussion she has had with local authorities on parking outside of schools in Gloucester.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Secretary of State has not had discussions with local authorities on parking outside schools in Gloucester.
Responsibility for traffic management and enforcement of road traffic restrictions on local roads rests with the relevant local authority, as they are best placed to consider how local needs can be effectively met. Gloucestershire County Council has already acquired designated civil enforcement powers enabling it to issue Penalty Charge Notices in respect of contraventions of traffic restrictions which include restrictions on parking outside schools.
