Code of Practice on Civil Parking and Traffic Enforcement

Parking regulations need to be enforced, but to be enforced the authority must ensure that they are right and they must be properly indicated.

Parking attendants must be readily identifiable and must wear an easily recognisable uniform. They need to be trained and equipped to a sufficiently high standard to allow them to carry out their duties professionally and competently.

Although enforcement policy is a matter for each individual authority, in order to ensure a minimum level of satisfactory operation the duties and responsibilities of parking attendants are set down in the Parking Attendants Handbook. This is not, however, prescriptive in every detail.
