Adoption of moving traffic contravention enforcement powers in Dudley
We are currently consulting residents about new traffic enforcement powers.
Last year the government announced that local authorities in England could apply to get new powers to enforce moving traffic offences under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004.
We would like to apply to the Secretary of State for these new powers. It will mean we will be able to enforce moving traffic contraventions.
