Future of Ribble Valley traffic wardens under debate
Published Date:
20 August 2008
A COUNTYWIDE parking enforcement scheme operating in the RIbble Valley will end its contract next year.
And, contrary to public belief, it will not be in a financial deficit.
ParkWise is a partnership run in the area jointly by Lancashire County Council and Ribble Valley Borough Council. The scheme aims to prevent dangerous parking, help local transport such as delivery vehicles move more freely and promote the use of public transport across the county.
The current agreement has been in place for five years and will expire in September 2009. ParkWise will not end its contract with a financial deficit due to the money raised through on-street "pay and display" schemes.
County Coun. Matthew Tomlinson, Cabinet member for sustainable development said: "This is good news as it means ParkWise has achieved its aim of providing a parking enforcement scheme that paid for itself."
A decision on how the parking enforcement partnership will continue is expected to be made in October.
