    CONFLICTING ATTITUDES TO PARKING

    Market research amongst East Sussex residents found that parking was the most often citedtransport problem. Most of us have a love-hate relationship with parking. Urban myths aboundabout hearses being ticketed and all parking attendants being on commission. Nobody likes topay to park, even less to receive a parking ticket and many of us expect an indulgent blind eye tobe turned if, occasionally, we park on a yellow line while we pop in to a shop for a few minutes.

    On the other hand, we complain if we cannot find a convenient place to park close to the shop we

    want to visit. If we are delayed in our car or if our bus doesnt arrive because someone hasparked illegally (perhaps while they have popped into a shop for a few minutes!) we bemoan thelack of enforcement. If an emergency vehicle could not get through we would be outraged. If weand our neighbours cannot park close to our homes because most of the spaces are taken up bycommuters we expect something to be done. We may also recognise that, unless publictransport can run more reliably and walking and cycling can be made more attractive, we willnever get away from dependence on the private car.

    1. WHAT BENEFITS DO PARKING CONTROLS BRING?

    1. 1 Balancing Freedoms

    Parking controls and enforcement will always be a balance between restricting the freedom ofsome in order to protect or enhance the freedom of others and that is a difficult balance to

    achieve. We aim to introduce controls and to undertake enforcement sensitively and in the bestinterest of those most directly affected the motorist, the commercial driver and residents andbusinesses in the streets concerned.

    1.2 Improving Transport and Reducing Environmental Impact

    The effective control of parking is a crucial element of the County Councils wider strategy toimpr ove transport and reduce damage to the environment as set out in our Local TransportPlan 1 . Those areas in which parking controls have been introduced are already experiencibenefits.

    In Lewes Town, the upward trend in traffic has actually been reversed and traffic has fallen to

    pre-2001 levels (figure 1). Crucially, this has been achieved without deterring motorists fromvisiting the town: in fact 12% more people are parking in town centre car parks than before. Thereduction in traffic levels is primarily because people no longer pointlessly drive around andaround looking for somewhere to park.

    In Hastings (figure 2), the upward trend in traffic levels has been slowed and bus patronage hasincreased by 18% over the last four years. Effective parking enforcement has been a decisivefactor.

    1.3 Reinvesting Parking Surpluses

    All surplus income from parking on the highway is reinvested in local transport in the areas inwhich the charges are levied. To date, in Hastings, Eastbourne and Lewes, a total of over 1.5million has been invested in pedestrian crossings, support for bus services and maintenance ofreal time bus information systems and a range of other improvements. Details are given inAppendix B.

    2. LEADING THE WAY IN TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS

    2.1 Open about Information

    In East Sussex we aim to operate our parking schemes transparently and we were commendedby the independent National Parking Adjudication Service (now Traffic Penalty Tribunal) 2 as thefirst authority in the country to publish an annual report.

    With the exception of a few matters which we need to keep confidential for reasons of security, toprevent fraud or abuse of the system or to ensure that contractors compete fairly, all informationabout the schemes is publicly available, much of it in this annual report.

    2.2 Open about PoliciesWe have developed detailed rules to help us to apply the scheme fairly and consistently. Thesecover the circumstances in which we issue tickets; the tolerances that we apply; whether weobserve a vehicle for a period before issuing a ticket and the factors that we take into account indeciding whether to cancel a ticket.

    We publish these policies 3 so that what we do is transparent and so that anyone can commenton them. We recognise that there will inevitably be differences of opinion about the rights and

    2 We have always suggested [that authorities publish an annual report] since it is clear that many councils are operating thescheme satisfactorily and more openness would enable the public to see that this is the case.

    I am therefore delighted to have a copy of an excellent annual report for 2005 from East Sussex County Council. Thatlocal authority is to be much commended.

    wrongs of individual cases. However, we want to build a general consensus about how thecontrols should be applied and interpreted.

    2.3 Parking Charter

    We have just launched our Parking Charter which sets out in plain English what motorists can

    expect of us and what we expect of motorists.

    2.4 No Commission or Incentive to Issue Tickets

    In East Sussex, no civil enforcement officers receive commission. Nor do our contractors. Wepay them fixed fees for providing a service and all contractors are chosen after competitivetendering to ensure that we get the best value for money. Neither contractors nor individual civilenforcement officers have targets related to the number of tickets that they issue and they haveno incentive to issue more tickets.

    2.5 Striving for Fairness

    Our rules build in a number of tolerances. We realise, for example, that people can sometimesbe a few minutes late getting back to their car so, unlike many authorities, we do not issue aticket to anyone who has paid to park until they are at least ten minutes overdue.

    We would prefer not to issue any tickets and we publish leaflets (figure 3) to help people tounderstand and comply with the rules. If we do issue a ticket, and the motorist challenges it, weconsider the matter in accordance with our policies and cancel any tickets that are found to havebeen wrongly issued or if there were extenuating circumstances.

    A detailed analysis of tickets issued in the Lewes scheme is given in this report. Summaryfigures for all civil enforcement schemes outside London are published annually by the TrafficPenalty Tribunal. This shows that the proportion of tickets taken to independent appeal in Lewesis one of the lowest in the country.

    3. CHALLENGES OPPORTUNITIES AND INITIATIVES

    3.1 Vandalism

    Criminal attacks against ticket machines in Lewes using powerful explosives resulted in the lossof 44 machines and damage to many others. No other town in the country has experienced

    anywhere near this level of damage. Not only did this pose a serious threat of injury but itimposed additional costs on the scheme of some 300,000. Regrettably, this cost falls on law-abiding residents and motorists in the form of additional charges.

    Joint action with the Police and Crimestoppers involving improved security, surveillance andpublicity has dramatically reduced the level of attack. We hope that, with continuing vigilanceand community support, this lawlessness will not return.

    3.2 Encouragement for Low-polluting Vehicles

    East Sussex was one of the first authorities in the country to introduce differential parking permitcharges to encourage electric and LPG propelled vehicles. We have now extended

    environmental incentives in Lewes by offering discounts to a wider range of low pollutingconventionally powered vehicles.

    3.3 Opportunities for Car Clubs

    We have been approached by several groups who are interested in forming car clubs and haveasked whether parking space could be made available. Unfortunately, these clubs have yetcome to fruition but we are keen to encourage such initiatives or, indeed, any other community orcommercial initiatives where parking control could assist in improving mobility and reducing theenvironmental impact of the private car.

    3.4 Optimum Use of Civil Enforcement Officers

    We intend to review the way in which Civil Enforcement Officers are deployed in Lewes in orderto be satisfied that the right numbers of officers are patrolling in the right places at the right times.

    3.5 Leading by Example

    The County Council, as a major employer, is leading by example in using parking controls andcharges to further environmental objectives and improve business efficiency. All staff at CountyHall pay to park and the surplus income from that car park is used to subsidise reduced publictransport fares. The parking arrangements also give priority to staff who car share and toessential operational needs.

    The Council is keen to encourage other businesses to develop similar initiatives in themanagement of their parking.

    4. THE FUTURE

    4.1 Commitment to Consultation

    We are committed to responding to public concerns about parking and to addressing the adverseimpact that uncontrolled parking can have on peoples lives, business efficiency and theenvironment. The management of parking has a vital role to play in achieving wider transport

    and environmental objectives and we will work with local communities to introduce effective,efficient and appropriate parking controls and associated enforcement across East Sussex.

    Parking controls are never universally popular and, indeed, are often widely unpopular at asuperficial level but those directly affected by the consequences of uncontrolled parking

  • 8/8/2019 East Sussex Parking Annual Report Jan09

    9/34

    7

    recognise the benefits. Before introducing new parking controls, we consult widely with thosemost directly affected and we listen to what they say.

    It was following extensive consultation that civil parking enforcement was recently introduced inEastbourne together with new parking controls, including charging, in the town centre.

    4.2 New LegislationWe have to operate and enforce parking schemes in accordance with national legislation. Thissometimes prevents us from doing things in the way that we would prefer. New legislation whichcame into effect during 2008 has allowed us to adopt different levels of penalty charge for moreserious and less serious breaches and we welcome this.

    4.3 Transparency and Continual Development

    No scheme of parking control will ever be perfect for everyone but the Council is committed totransparency and to continual development, improvement and refinement in response to evolvinglocal needs.

    5. FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS

    It is planned that, in future years, our annual report will cover all civil parking enforcementschemes in the County, allowing statistical comparison on a common basis. However, atpresent, it relates only to the Lewes Scheme.

    In Hastings, civil parking enforcement is undertaken by Hastings Borough Council. Civilenforcement began in Eastbourne on 13 October 2008.

    5.1 Background

    Decriminalised (now Civil) Parking Enforcement was introduced across the whole of LewesDistrict on 20 September 2004. This transferred responsibility for parking enforcement 4 from thePolice to the County Council.

    At the same time, a Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) was introduced in the centre of the town ofLewes. This saw the introduction of on-street parking charges and permits for residents andvisitors and changes to the car park tariffs to make them consistent with charges on-street. Nochanges were made, at that time, to parking controls on the ground outside Lewes town.

    A comprehensive review of the CPZ in Lewes was undertaken during 2005 and 2006, once thescheme had settled. In the light of consultation, the scheme was extended in late 2006 to includeparts of the Wallands and Winterbourne areas. A number of other changes were made, includingthe removal or downgrading of some yellow lines to create more parking places and the changingof the hours of control in the western part of the town from six days a week to five (Monday toFriday).

    Consultation about the possible introduction of controlled parking across Seaford town centrefound limited support. Proposals for much more localised controls are now under considerationin Seaford and elsewhere in Lewes District.

    5.2 Management of Scheme

    The civil enforcement regime in Lewes District covers parking both on the street and in manypublic car parks. Most public car parks in Lewes District are owned or leased or used under

    4 Other than on Trunk Roads

  • 8/8/2019 East Sussex Parking Annual Report Jan09

    10/34

    8

    licence by Lewes District Council. The County Council manages enforcement in those car parks 5 on behalf of the District Council. Enforcement is carried out by National Car Parks under a fiveyear contract (with optional extension for a further two years) with the County Council in closeliaison with Lewes District Council.

    Charges are set by the County Council (or, in the case of most car parks, by Lewes District

    Council). The number of Civil Enforcement Officers and their deployment is determined by theCouncil as are the rules under which they work. All representations about Penalty Charge Noticesare considered by a Council officer.

    All income from the scheme is retained by the Councils and NCP is paid a fee for the serviceprovided. The contract gives no incentive related to the issue of Penalty Charge Notices andstipulates that NCP must not offer any such incentive to their staff.

    The following statistical analysis of the operational and financial performance of the schemecovers both on and off street (car park) parking.

    5.3 Cark Parks in Lewes District

    Most car parks in Lewes District are the responsibility of Lewes District Council. During2007/2008, LDC operated pay and display off street car parking at 18 surface car parks. TheCouncil also operated one season-ticket-only surface car park in Seaford and there are 19 otheroff street surface car parks within the district which are free to park in. In addition to the surfacecar parks the Council operates a pay upon exit multi storey car park at Newhaven. Details ofthese car parks and the small number of off-street car parks operated by ESCC, their capacitiesand the applicable charging bands are shown in Table A1.3.

    In addition to car parks operated by the local authorities, a public car park is operated by NCP inEastgate Wharf, Lewes and there are car parks associated with railway stations, supermarketsand at other locations.

    There are 9 charging bands in operation in LDC surface car parks 5 for Lewes and 2 each forSeaford and Newhaven. A separate tariff applies in the Newhaven multi storey car park. Detailsof the tariffs are shown in Table A1.4.

    5.4 Income and Expenditure

    Analysis of the income and expenditure for the Lewes parking scheme is shown in Tables 1, 2, 3& 4.

    5.4.1 On street parking, ESCC car parks and all enforcement activities

    As shown in Table 1, on street parking, ESCC car parks and all enforcement activities made anoperating deficit of 37,251 in 2007/08 and a cumulative operating deficit to the end of 2007/08 ofsome 325,000. A substantial element of the deficit is attributable to additional costs and lostrevenue as a result of vandalism against ticket machines.

    The total cost of that damage is estimated to be in excess of 300,000 although, because ticketmachines are leased, with payments made over the life of the lease, only part of that sum has sofar been reflected in the accounts. Even if there is no more vandalism, further charges againstthe scheme will arise for the remainder of the lease period.

    Charges were increased during 2007 to offset the cost of vandalism and, although the scheme

    still showed an operational loss for 2007/08 as a whole, since the changes came into effect the

    scheme has been returning a small operating surplus for the part of the year since the chargescame into effect.

    The cost of past vandalism should have worked through the system by 2009/10. Discountingthe current cost of vandalism from the main figures in Table 1 gives an indication of the likelylong term financial viability of the on street scheme (see Table 2). The underlying scheme is

    financially viable but it will be many years before it covers its set up costs.

    Income from PCNs (Figure 4) contributes approximately a third of the total on-street income butthis comes nowhere near to covering the costs of enforcement 6 . Contrary to popular belief,enforcement in a small town and partially rural district is not, of itself, a money generating activity(Figure 5). The enforcement, which is necessary to achieve a reasonable level of compliance, isfunded primarily from income from permits and pay & display.

    5.4.2 Lewes District Council Car Parks

    As shown in Table 3, the LDC surface car parks returned an operating surplus of 429,947 in2007/08. The Newhaven multi-storey car park (which operates on a pay on exit basis and doesnot come under the civil enforcement regime returned an operating deficit of 12,779 in 2007/08(Table 4).

    5.5 Detailed StatisticsDetailed statistics about the operation of the scheme are given in Appendix A. An overview ofthose statistics is given below.

    Scale of Operation

    Tables A1.1 to A1.4 give information about the scale of the Lewes operation and the charges. Itwill be noted that the total number of permits (1,990) and the number of bays available to permitholders (2,100) are closely matched.

    Permit and Ticket Sales

    Tables A2.1 to A2.5a give information about the numbers of permit and pay & display ticketssold. The number of resident permits, having risen by 13% in 2006-07, following the extension ofthe scheme, reduced slightly (4%) in 2007-08 (Table A2.1). The number of business permitsdeclined by 29% in 2007-08, possibly as a result of the phasing out of such permits beingallowed to park in the High Street (Table A2.2).

    The number of pay & display tickets sold has remained almost constant at just over 1.3 millionper year (Table A2.3). The vast majority (1.25 million) are sold in Lewes Town. Of these, aboutthree quarters are in off-street car parks and one quarter on street (Table A2.4).

    Although there are slight variations between different areas, the common theme in each town isthat the great majority of tickets are for short durations. Most people who park in the car parksstay for a short period of time (Tables A2.5 & A2.5a and Figure 6). Overall, 80% of tickets werefor 2 hours or less and 46% were for 1 hour or less.

    PCN Issue Processing Challenge and Appeal

    Tables A3.1 to A3.6 give information about PCNs.

    The long term trend in the number of PCNs issued is shown in the table below and in TablesA3.1 and A3.1a and in Figure 7.

    There is no strongly cyclical pattern to the issue of PCNs over a year (figure 7). Following launchof the scheme in September 2004, the number of PCNs issued gradually rose during 2005-6 andthe earlier part of 2007-08 before falling back. The rate of issue averaged over six months is nowthe same as in February 2006 (Table A3.1a).

    By far the most PCNs are issued in Lewes Town (Table A3.2) but the number issued there in2007-08 was 9% lower than in the previous year (2% lower on street, 17% lower in car parks).Although many fewer PCNs in total are issued in the Coastal Towns, the numbers increased by50% in 2007-08.

    The nature of the most common violations and the locations at which most PCNs are issuedchange very little from year to year (Table A3.3 & A3.4 and Figure 8).

    Some 60% of PCNs issued are paid at the discounted rate (Figure 9), 7% at the full rate and asmall number after the issue of a Charge Certificate and recourse to the Courts. Approximately18% are cancelled and a further 1% are written off. A more detailed analysis in Tables A3.5 andA3.6 shows that the proportion of PCNs challenged rose from 42.7% in 2005-06 to 53.4% in2006-07 but fell back slightly to 50.2% in 2007-08.
