Signed by authority of the Lord Chancellor and the Secretary of State for Justice Lucy Frazer Parliamentary Under Secretary of State Ministry of Justice 23rd May 2018 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) The Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General Regulations 2007 ( S.I. 2007/3483 ) provide for the civil enforcement of parking contraventions in England (including Greater London) in accordance with Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004. The 2007 Regulations were amended by the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (England) General (Amendment No.2) Regulations 2015 ( S.I. 2015/1001 ) to require that a notice of a penalty charge in respect of a parking contravention on a road in a civil enforcement area must be given by a civil enforcement officer affixing it to the vehicle, subject to certain exceptions. These Regulations correct an error in regulation 11 of the 2007 Regulations by adding a cross-reference to a notice served under regulation 9A(5)(a). An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
