I have received an email from our Council today regarding the setting down of a passenger.
"Thank you for your email, this is an ‘on street’ issue and Melton Borough Council are responsible for the enforcement of the ‘off street’ parking areas in the town ie the pay and display car parks. The Civil Enforcement Officers are employed by Harborough District Council to work on behalf of MBC for the ‘off street’ enforcement and Leicestershire County Council for the ‘on street’ enforcement. So really you have to contact the Notice Processing Centre at LCC who can advise of the traffic regulations in place in the town."
It would seem that the enforcement people used by our Council and Leicestershire County Council are Employed by Harborough District Council. Is this legal?
Yes, Shepway used to use KCC's contractors. BUT, their uniforms MUST display that they are Parking Enforcement Officers and which council they are working for. This must be shown on their jackets and caps.
