Lib Dem Campaign For Parking Attendants To Have Cameras Is Successful

Lib Dem Gary Malcolm In A CPZ In Southfield

At a meeting this week when Cllr Gary Malcolm pressed the Head of Parking Services on CPZ matters, it was confirmed that the Council from 1st December will have parking attendants that carry digital cameras to photograph offences that people carry out.

Gary conducted a personal review of parking services after the events in Southfield where the Zone B renewal process was botched up, leaving many residents getting ticketed when they had paid for a permit but had not received them.

Cllr Gary Malcolm, Lib Dem Transport spokesperson, said: "Many residents have been ticketed when they claim they have not broken any rules in recent years and rightly many people are frustrated at the council. Lib Dems believe that if parking attendants have cameras, this will ensure that they have to follow the rules."

Gary added: "If residents believe they have not committed an offence they will be able to look at the picture to clarify matters."
