Issue details
Recovery of debt from unpaid parking Penalty Charge Notices
In order to effectively manage the councils
highway network in respect of parking, occasionally a Penalty
Charge Notice needs to be issued to a vehicle. Where payment is not
made in respect of these the relevant legislation provides for debt
to be pursued.
In order for the council to continue to exercise its public duty,
and recover all associated costs with the enforcement of parking
contraventions, and to ensure that the principles of enforcement
are not undermined, it is appropriate to take all legal and
necessary steps to obtain payment.
Notwithstanding a review of any correspondence received against any
of these matters, and the councils underpinning duty to protect
those that are vulnerable, the following documents have been served
in accordance with legislation in the last period.
May 2021
Charge Certificate – 166
Order for Recovery – 41
In the same period 151 were warrants were executed for the councils
contracted Enforcement Agency (Bailiffs) to, in accordance with the
relevant legislation, make enquires and enforce the outstanding
debt.
