Ashfield District - Civil Enforcement Off-Street Parking Places Order

ASHFIELD DISTRICT COUNCIL NOTICE OF PROPOSAL
PROPOSED ASHFIELD DISTRICT COUNCIL
CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OFF-STREET PARKING PLACES ORDER 2023

Ashfield District Council intends to make the above Order (“the Proposed Order”) under its powers contained in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 as amended and under the Traffic Management Act 2004 as amended and all other enabling powers.

The Proposed Order relates to existing off-street parking places and proposed new parking places provided by the Council at the locations listed in the Schedule of Parking Places and Charges below and is intended to come into operation on 18 December 2023 (or as soon as possible thereafter).

The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (County of Nottingham) Designation Order 2008 brought civil parking enforcement into force in the relevant areas of the County of Nottinghamshire, including the District of Ashfield, on 12 May 2008.

The Council intends to revoke The Ashfield District Council Civil Enforcement Off-Street Parking Places Order 2020 in its entirety.

Revoking the aforementioned Parking Places Order 2020 will give the Council the opportunity to encompass additional land owned/managed by the Council at the following locations:- Kirkby Leisure Centre, Kirkby-in-Ashfield (former Festival Hall); Fox Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield; Hucknall Leisure Centre, Hucknall; Kings Mill Reservoir, Sutton-in-Ashfield; Langton Road/New Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield and Papplewick Green Pavilion, Hucknall; to alter the limits of stay and parking charges at Sherwood Place, Sutton-in-Ashfield; to revoke and amend the conditions and use of some existing parking places in accordance with the attached Schedule of Parking Places and Charges and to incorporate references to new legislation.

Since commencing the consultation two omissions have been identified in the Schedule to the Notice of Proposal dated 17 July 2023 as follows:- “One free period per day” in No. 4. (Category D) “24 hours” in No 5. (Category E) and an error in No 7. (Category G) “Except Bank Holidays but including Good Friday” should read “24 hours including Bank Holidays”. The correct wording is shown in the Schedule of Parking Places, Times and Charges of Use under the Proposed Order below.

In order to address these errors and to give full publicity to the proposals the Council is undertaking further formal consultation.

The penalty charges for contraventions of the Proposed Order will remain the same as the penalty charges for the previous Orders, as described below.

Proposed Penalty Charges

£70 (£35 where paid within 14 days; £105 if paid after service of charge certificate) For contraventions in relation to parking in loading areas; designated disabled persons bays; a restricted area; a permit bay or a bay not designated for that class of vehicle; for using a vehicle in connection with the sale of goods; and for causing an obstruction.
