Time to listen to some advice - University of Birmingham research into parking enforcement highlights room for improvement

摘要

Parking regimes appear to be maturing, with a growing number facing up to their flaws and striving to improve the service they offer. Now the industry has its very own oracle - a major study that sets out a fresh approach to enforcement. The study, by University of Birmingham, says that a chief priority for parking authorities must be to win greater public acceptance. The 90-page report, funded by National Car Parks, offers guidelines on how to make parking enforcement fairer and better run. It also calls for regimes to be integrated within street management operations. The six-month research was carried out by the university's School of Public Policy, led by authors Professor John Raine, Eileen Dunstan and Theresa Alexandra Parry.
