Budget Engagement Sessions
Wokngham Borough Council is holding budget engagement sessions in October, the last meeting being held at Waingels College on the 31/10/16.
The press release states:
Taking place in five locations in the Borough, local people will be able to hear more about the serious funding challenges and shrinking budgets facing the council. It has to save almost £19million by 2019/20 despite responding effectively to austerity and funding cuts from central government since 2010.

Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) Press Release
A press release from Workingham Borough Council on Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE):
final prep for civil parking enforcement application
The final piece of preparation for Wokingham Borough Council’s
application for Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) powers has this week (September
29) been agreed by the council’s decision-making executive.
The executive had already approved the principle of the
application being made to the Department of Transport (DfT), but before the
council can officially apply specific resolutions defined by the DfT had to
first be agreed.
These resolutions set out the basic legal, financial and operating
shape of the Wokingham Borough enforcement, as well as things the council must
do before it starts CPE.
Now members have agreed to the resolutions, it’s hoped the CPE
application will be submitted to the DfT early next year, and if accepted the
borough council take on its new powers by autumn next year.
CPE means the borough council would take over the police’s role to
legally enforce parking breaches such as on double yellow lines, double parking
or parking across dropped kerbs, parking in a residents’ parking zone without a
permit and overstaying time-limited bays.
Many local people and businesses already think Wokingham Borough
Council has CPE powers and support the move.
Thames Valley Police currently has parking control responsibility
in the Wokingham Borough, but supports the council’s bid to take over this role
and bring the borough in line with other Thames Valley councils.
- MORE -
It means the council would also
be able to tackle cars obstructing verges and pavements where they are parked
next to yellow lines - making things safer and more accessible for pedestrians and motorists.
The new powers would harmonise enforcement at both on and
off-street parking locations, and allow the council to better manage parking
schemes for residents and businesses.
“Applying for CPE powers is complex and these resolutions are part
of this process,” said Cllr Malcolm Richards, executive member for highways and
transport.
“There’s an awful lot of work going on behind the scenes. We’ve
been checking and mapping all the existing traffic regulation orders (TROs)
across the borough, looking at all the existing parking signs and road markings
to make sure they’re clear. There will
be a great deal of advance notice and information to inform and prepare
motorists and residents, long before the CPE starts.
“This change in parking controls is important work, because with
CPE powers we’ll have the muscle to tackle congestion and improve road safety
and improve parking fairness for everyone.”
