Member guides Moving it on Local authorities in England (outside of London) can now apply for powers to manage moving traffic contraventions under the Traffic Management Act Part 6 but where do you start? The BPA and Derby City Council, which was among the first to apply for the powers, share tips to help make sure you are prepared BPA support The advent of moving traffic enforcement powers for English local authorities has been long-awaited: some would say long overdue. Now they are here, we must all ensure their implementation is developed, designed and delivered responsibly, and with good reason. At the BPA, we are committed to assisting the Department for Transport and our local authority members in enabling this. Clearly, it is for individual local authorities to decide whether to adopt these new powers, and how they will be used. Our role is to support and facilitate knowledge sharing and experience across our membership community in this case, local authorities and their service providers, such as enforcement agents and parking technology companies. We have run a series of webinars to support local authority members who are considering implementing moving traffic enforcement.
