East Herts Council have launched a mobile parking enforcement service dedicated to the enforcement of yellow line ‘zig-zag’ restrictions outside Walkern Primary School.

Parking Enforcement East Herts Council have launched a mobile parking enforcement service dedicated to the enforcement of yellow line ‘zig-zag’ restrictions outside Walkern Primary School. The launch of this initiative is in part a response to reports and complaints from members of the public concerning dangerous and inconsiderate parking outside Walkern Primary School and is in line with the Council’s overall parking enforcement strategy. When surveyed in 2010, sixty-nine percent of East Herts residents identified safety-related parking enforcement such as this as their highest or second highest enforcement priority. The new mobile service will be dedicated primarily to schools in smaller towns and villages where, due to resource constraints, our attendance has hitherto been limited. The emphasis will be on deterrence, although a Penalty Charge Notice will be issued where a parking contravention occurs.
