Bracknell

Bracknell Forest Borough Council will be taking over the enforcement of almost all yellow line parking and loading restrictions from the police.

The move, which is happening across the country, takes place for Bracknell Forest on Monday, April 3, 2006 and will be promoted over the next few months with an awareness campaign called Park Right.

Jon Freer, Assistant Director for Bracknell Environment and Leisure said: "There will be no change in the current parking laws or fines amounts, but with a self funded enforcement scheme run by the Council, we will have the resources to reduce the amount of illegal parking in the borough.

"Illegal, inconsiderate and dangerous parking has been raised as a great concern by residents across the borough, in particular in many of the recent Neighbourhood Forums.

"A more effective scheme will improve road safety and traffic flow, give a fairer distribution of available parking places and will also provide a more pleasant environment for all.

"The scheme aims to be fair and reasonable to everyone and we also expect that it will help prepare the Council for some of the challenges associated with the town centre redevelopment."
