CPE Policy Consultation
Consultation has concluded
Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) Policy Consultation
What are we consulting on?
We would like your views on the proposed updated Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) Policy.
CPE enables local authorities to effectively manage and enforce on-street parking and County Council operated off-street car parks.
By preventing inconsiderate parking, access for all who use the highway is improved, local businesses are supported, and the Council’s overarching environmental objective to reduce congestion and improve air quality strengthened.
The proposed CPE Policy is an overarching policy outlining the broad legal framework and the Council’s approach to parking enforcement. It covers all aspects of the Council’s regulatory functions and ensures the way enforcement is applied is clear, fair, transparent, and consistent.
This policy aims to provide:
- Guidelines under which CPE operates.
- The criteria under which Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are issued.
- Information on how challenges and representations are made and dealt with.
It demonstrates how the Council’s enforcement approach is consistent across all areas where CPE has been adopted and shows how the Council’s statutory enforcement functions are delivered. Areas where CPE powers have currently been adopted include Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire.
