Automatic number plate recognition cameras could be used to enforce moving traffic offences under new council powers
Drivers could face new fines as Nottingham City Council has launched a consultation on its plan to allow civil enforcement for traffic offences in some areas of the city. A recent change to Government legislation gave local authorities new powers to use automatic number plate recognition cameras to enforce moving traffic offences, in a bid to improve road safety.
If the plans are approved, civil enforcement will be introduced at these sites using Automatic Number Plate Recognition camera technology. Penalty Charge Notices of £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 21 days, would be sent automatically to drivers who break the law at these locations.
The enforcement is also proposed for the section of Victoria Embankment from the suspension bridge in a north-westerly direction for around 240 metres, encompassing the recreational area in front of the war memorial. Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio Holder for Highways, Transport and Parks, Councillor Audra Wynter, said: “I welcome the Government’s decision to change the regulations to allow civil enforcement.
