Parking enforcement

Today's "Courier" covered the issue of parking enforcement into the evenings, arising out of the decision by Aberdeen City Council to extend its parking enforcement arrangements.

Although there are no immediate proposals to do so in Dundee, as the City Council's Planning & Transport Convener, I did say that “We always keep a close eye on other local authorities’ initiatives to see how they work.

“We are always keen to hear how other local authorities’ initiatives work, but we also need to consider how cost-effective the changes to traffic attendants’ hours would be.

“It’s something I will be discussing with the Director of Planning and Transportation.”

I have indeed discussed the issue with the Director and the City Council will be monitoring the effectiveness of initiatives by other authorities to see if these would have positive effect if introduced in Dundee.
