Decision details
Replacement Handheld Devices for Parking Civil Enforcement Officers
Decision Maker: Director of Place Management
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To replace 35 handheld enforcement devices
used by Parking Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO) to document
potential contraventions of restrictions on the public highway and
within Council operated car parks, and where appropriate to issue
Penalty Charge Notices with a high standard of supporting evidence
to ensure notices withstand scrutiny at the independent Traffic
Penalty Tribunal.
Decision:
To fully approve £45k funded by Service
Supported Borrowing for project delivery
Alternative options considered:
To not replace existing handheld devices - Not
replacing existing handheld devices exposes the Council to risk as
in July 2025 technical support for the devices will cease from the
supplier due to the operating system no longer being updated by the
manufacturer. In addition a number of existing devices are
beginning to have technical issues which are no longer covered by
any form of warranty.
