Comment on our draft Vehicle Removal Policy

Overview

The proposal

We aim to undertake a fair and transparent approach to the removal of vehicles. This proposed Council Policy sets out in which circumstances we will remove parked vehicles that contravene on-street parking restrictions and take them to a secure vehicle storage facility. These circumstances include:

• Parked vehicles that cause a serious obstruction to emergency services and other road users
• Vehicles parked in a disabled-person’s parking bay without displaying a disabled blue badge
• Fraudulent use of a disabled-person’s parking blue badge (whether it is genuine or counterfeit)
• Persistent evaders - where there are five or more recorded parking contraventions for the vehicle and the penalties for these have not been paid.
• Fraudulent use of a Buckinghamshire Council pay-and-display parking ticket, parking permit or voucher (including cashless parking and virtual permits)

The content in this draft Policy complies with our statutory duties and we have outlined them in the Policy document.
