| FOI-00036157 | Fully Met | Response to FOI-00034349: Thank you for your reply. You haven't mentioned (or supplied) "Traffic Management and Parking Guidance for the London local authorities, the Traffic Director for London and the Highways Agency.". The Local Government Chronicle reported on 5 March 1998: "Minister for transport in London Glenda Jackson has published new Traffic Management and Parking Guidance for the London local authorities, the Traffic Director for London and the Highways Agency. "The new guidance replaces the previous guidance issued in 1992 and establishes the framework for traffic management measures and parking controls across London. The guidance aims to make traffic management and parking controls serve a wider set of environmental, social and economic priorities, and to encourage greater use of alternatives to the car." Is it that that document said nothing about enforcement? Please could you either supply a copy of that document (or its successor) or a link to where it may be found. Might there be other documents which were issued by the Government Office for London relating to enforcement which aren't on DfT's radar because they were issued through GOL? If so, please advise which public body I should ask for them. | 03-Apr-25 |
