The Prankster has alerted us of this... Is the timing relevant? And what is the purpose of it?
Who knows?
Machinery of Government Change: Off-Street Parking
This written ministerial statement confirms that responsibility for off-street parking will transfer
from the Department for Transport to the Department for Communities and Local Government.
This includes Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 in respect of the recovery of
unpaid parking charges. Responsibility for those aspects of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984
and the Traffic Management Act 2004 which relate to off-street parking, will also move to the
Department for Communities and Local Government. This change is effective immediately.
