Parking Enforcement in Gloucestershire
Annual Report
Introduction
This report covers the combined performance of all Councils – District and Borough
- within Gloucestershire County for the year April 2008 to March 2009. This was the
first full year of Civil Parking Enforcement in the county, with Forest of Dean District
Council joining the rest of the county in August 2008.
Within the County, responsibility for the provision of parking spaces and the
enforcement of restrictions is split, with the County Council - as the Highways
Authority - responsible for all “on-street” restrictions that apply to the highway
including:
- charges for parking places contained within the Highway
- the provision of Residents Parking Permit Schemes
- the issue of Penalty Charge Notices for contraventions of any parking
restrictions in force on the highway
- the issuing of any dispensations or waivers as appropriate and when
requested.
These powers are delegated by agreement to the local District or Borough Council
who act of the County’s behalf.
District and Borough Councils provide all “off-street” car parking, i.e. car parks not
part of the public highway, and are responsible for setting tariffs and issuing Penalty
Charge Notices for the contravention of restrictions within them.
Contact information and where to find further information is given at the end of
this report.

Structure
District, Borough and City Councils are responsible for the enforcement and
administration of all parking restrictions in Gloucestershire. Parking schemes are
designed and implemented by the County Council.
The numbers and employment status of Civil Enforcement Officers employed in the
County is indicated in the table below.
Forest of Dean District Council Contracted out to NCP Services (contract 1 1/8/08
managed by Gloucester City)
Policy
Gloucestershire County Councils parking policy is set out in the Local Transport Plan
(LTP) and driven by the priorities, shared with our partner authorities of;
Reducing Congestion and improving traffic flow, improving Road Safety and Air
Quality, and ensuring full and equitable Accessibility to all of the communities
throughout the County.
-4-
• To improve our environment;
The County Council is guided by Best Practise with regard to access for disabled or
disadvantaged groups when designing traffic and parking schemes
The Council is currently formulating a new Policy on the issue of residents and other
Parking Permit Schemes due for completion at the end of 2009.

District Performance
County Overview
The partnership arrangements between Gloucestershire County Council and the six
District Councils within the County have seen the effective introduction of
Decriminalised Parking Enforcement, operating under the Road Traffic Act 1991.
On March 31st 2008 the legal basis of parking enforcement changed across the
Country and the Part six of Traffic Management Act 2004 and associated
Regulations and Guidance came into force and Decriminalised Parking Enforcement
or DPE became Civil Parking Enforcement or CPE.
The effect of this very significant change has been well managed and we are now
faced with a period of consolidating our combined approach across the County and
learning from Best Practise.
To this end the County Council employed its first, dedicated, Parking Manager in
January 2009 to provide a focus on the introduction, management and expansion of
parking restrictions and controls across the County.
A Gloucestershire County Council CPE Task Group of County Councillors was created
to manage the scrutiny process, this resulted in an action plan for 2009/2010 and
this plan is included as an appendix at the end of this report.
The County Council has introduced a very well received Experimental Traffic Order
In four discreet streets in the Barton Tredworth area to address residents parking
problems through the innovative use of parking controls. If successful these design
features may be extended to other similar problem areas helping residents in an
otherwise highly congested part of Gloucester City.
Improved compliance and turnover of parking has improved across the County.
There is an on-going reappraisal of parking restrictions in town centres and the
County Council is working with the District Councils in formulating a local parking
strategy.
-6-
Gloucestershire County Council also provide Off-Street parking facilities at the Cam
& Dursley and Ashcroft Railway Stations as well as at the Arle Court Park and Ride
site on the outskirts of Cheltenham and the Waterwells and St Oswald’s park and
Ride sites in Gloucester city. Parking is free to users of the associated services at all
of these sites with the exception of the St Oswald’s site where a gross income of
£84,588 was collected over the financial year, all of this money was reinvested in
the provision of Park and Ride services in Gloucester City.
What follows is the individual District and Boroughs Parking Services report on the
workings and effect of Civil Parking Enforcement and parking generally in their area.
The following reports have been submitted by the Parking Managers for each of
the District and Borough Councils within Gloucestershire County.
Just a little over one year into the introduction of Civil Parking Enforcement in the
Tewkesbury Borough area, the team is celebrating a massive turnaround in parking
compliance and improved traffic flow within the main market towns of Tewkesbury,
Winchcombe, Churchdown and Brockworth.
In the financial year 2008 - 2009 Tewkesbury Borough Council received £701K from
its Off Street car parks at a cost of £323K result in a surplus of £378K This surplus
was spent on public passenger transport services and environmental
improvements.
Cotswold District
Cotswold District Council is one of the largest rural districts in southern England,
covering around 450 square miles of eastern Gloucestershire. The principal
settlement is Cirencester with clusters of Market Towns scattered across the
district.
-7-
The District is split between north and south with Cirencester, ‘the capital of the
Cotswolds’, in the southern area along side Tetbury, to the south west and Fairford
and Lechlade on Thames to the south east.. The north of the District is primarily
busier in the summer months due to high numbers of tourists, attracted to Bourton
on the Water, Stow on the Wold and Moreton in Marsh.
Off-street parking trends, (income and usage), have remained static over the
financial year 2008/09 despite the recession. Statistically the district is a safe place
with low levels of crime and unemployment.
Prior to CPE the main settlements had limited on-street enforcement via Traffic
Wardens and Police Officers. Enforcement is now spread across the District with a
consistent approach to dealing with non-compliance. Compliance with on-street
restrictions has greatly improved with an increase in turnover of limited waiting
spaces and former bottlenecks now being kept clear. This has improved traffic flow
through the towns and villages, some of which have very narrow streets and lanes.
To date, the introduction of CPE has not increased the usage of car parks as
anticipated. Those who previously parked in contravention have most likely
dispersed into the surrounding residential areas. This has caused a ripple effect of
requests for residents parking schemes in several towns but mostly Cirencester.
In the main, residents and businesses have accepted the new enforcement and
appreciate the positive outcomes of clearer and safer streets.
In the financial year 2008 - 2009 Cotswold District Council received £1,992,136 from
its Off Street car parks at a cost of £744,907 result in a surplus of £1,247,229 This
surplus contributed to the Councils General Fund and reduced the net cost of all of
the Councils Services.
Stroud District is a largely rural area covering 175 square miles in the south of
Gloucestershire. The eastern half of the District is part of the Cotswold Hills,
designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). To the west of the
Cotswolds escarpment is the low-lying landscape of the Severn Vale, which is
bordered by the Severn Estuary.
-8-
Approximately 110,000 people live in the District, with three-quarters of the district
residents living in or around Stroud town, Cam, Dursley and Wotton-Under-Edge.
Stroud is relatively affluent but there are pockets of deprivation. Rural isolation and
access to services is a problem generally, particularly in the Severn Vale and around
Painswick and Wotton-under-Edge.
The Council retains the ownership of car parks to assist and meet a variety of
customer needs. These needs are catered for by promoting the turnover of spaces
during working hours. Car park enforcement measures ensure, as much as possible,
that shoppers and visitors can find spaces and this in turn assists the local economy
by allowing customers to use the businesses in the area.
Where there is sufficient parking or where people are prepared to park on the
periphery of the town centre, longer stay provisions at lower charges or at no cost
are made, primarily to allow for commuter parking.
Over the last few years town centre parking trends have varied very little, in Stroud
and the introduction of DPE did not increase car park usage as anticipated. Those
who previously parked in contravention have most likely found parking further out
of the town centres.
Stroud District, as a member of the Stroud Concordat, has worked with County
Council and Gloucestershire Highways to develop the Stroud Public Realm Strategy.
This document contains a significant number of suggestions relating to the change
in parking arrangements and traffic movement. Town and District Council have
adopted the document, with County advising that findings will be integrated into
the Local Transport Plan 3. The next stage will be a detailed investigation to
determine feasibility of options.
Stroud District Council are leading on the implementation of high quality paving in
the vicinity of the Old Town Hall in Dursley. Alongside the drafted architectural and
engineering drawings, it is proposed that a change to the traffic order is made so
that the site becomes more pedestrian friendly, attractive and complements the
future supermarket plans.
The County has worked with the Stonehouse Town Council to consult and develop a
concept for the High Street. Whilst feasibility must be investigated, this will again
impact on the parking arrangements and traffic movements through and around
this shopping precinct.

District Council. The partnership has worked well with considerable savings made in
the initial set-up costs and annual on-going costs for both authorities.
Stroud District Civil Enforcement Officers issue tickets which are electronically
transferred to Cotswold on a daily basis, where they are processed and managed
through to payment, adjudication or Bailiff. Cotswold DC also process all season
tickets and permits for both authorities.
In the financial year 2008 to 2009 Stroud District Council grossed £583,937.78 from
its off street car parks at a cost of £750,561.29 resulting in a deficit of £166,623.51
this deficit was funded from Council balances.

Cheltenham Borough Council
This shows that more users are complying, which is also verified by the fact that
there was a significant fall in monies generated from Penalty Charge Notices issued
in Off-street car parks.
Prior to DPE Gloucester City had only two traffic wardens patrolling the City Centre,
with many people either disregarding the waiting restrictions or parking
inconsiderately causing problems. There are now 14 Civil Enforcement Officers on
duty across Gloucester City and the surrounding area. In particular we have noted
better compliance of On-street pay and display bays, loading bans and other waiting
and restrictions.
We have been able to respond to requests for more patrols around schools where
‘keep clear zigzags’ have been abused. Parking compliance around the busy
Gloucester Rugby football ground has also improved as we have organised joint
patrols with the Police. This has been a particular benefit to residents who
previously experienced problems accessing their properties due to vehicles parked
in contravention.
Car park usage across our 15 City Centre Car Parks increased slightly last year. We
have therefore planned a programme of improvements to upgrade our car parks
together with an advertising campaign to encourage shoppers into the City centre.
In the financial year 2008/09 Gloucester City Council received £2,337,545 income
from off street car parks. The cost of providing this service was £1,635,317. The
surplus of £702,228 was invested in car park improvements and upgrades across the
City.

Finance
The tables at the end of this report indicate the final “County wide” balance of
accounts. Actual balances are calculated separately for each district and liabilities
adjusted to reflect the relevant Agreement between authorities.
All surplus monies were reinvested in the Integrated Transport Services and
Highway Budgets for the period. These budgets are summarised below, in-line with
Local Authority accounting practise income is shown as a negative and expense as
a positive:
Gloucestershire Highways
Asset Management 3011 -75 2936
Depots and Highways Customer Service Teams 3144 -179 2965
Highways Maintenance and Drainage 13291 -11 13280
Street Lighting 4168 -32 4136
During the same period the County Council also spent the following monies from
capital funds on parking and parking related projects;

Conclusion
From public feedback it is already clear that Parking Services are providing a
valuable enforcement tool in dealing with the anti-social behaviour of inconsiderate
and dangerous parking.
Civil Parking Enforcement has been in effect in the County for a relatively short time
and performance is steadily improving in all areas. As the realisation that anti-social
parking is most likely to result in a Penalty Charge it is expected that a mounting
deterrent effect will be discerned across the County. From experience gained in
other parts of the Country, this deterrent may take some time before the number of
Penalty Charge Notices fall and parking behaviour improves. Future Annual Reports
will attempt to chart this improvement and identify developing trends across the
County.
Most Motorist, residents and visitors to Gloucestershire have been positive about
the improvements to parking – and therefore traffic flow and accessibility. Many
requests have been received for additional parking controls in residential areas and
for increased enforcement where those controls already exist. The new Residents
Parking Policy, mentioned earlier in this report, will allow us to address those
concerns in a co-ordinated and planned way in 2010 and onwards.
The Council will ensure that a balance approach is taken to patrol scheduling, and
while the use of discretion is not always available to an Enforcement Officer,
representations to District and Borough Councils will be treated sympathetically at
all times.
The Council will endeavour to bring about greater public understanding for the
need of restrictions and how they operate through publicity and improved and
readily available information.
The Future
One of the challenges for the future is to ensure that parking enforcement is
applied in a way that while reflecting local concerns and priorities, still provides a
consistent and understandable approach to residents and visitors to the County and
ensures that parking restrictions function in a planned and meaningful way.
