Received a report on recommendations from the Executive in relation to recent business that it has considered.

Agreed, in relation to the Introduction of Enforcement of Moving Traffic Violations using CCTV, to:

(i)  Adopt the powers of enforcing moving traffic violations, as provided in the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003; and

(ii)  19 November 2007 being the ‘appointed day’ for bringing these powers into operation within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.

Received a report concerning the decriminalisation of a number of moving traffic violations, which had been previously been enforced by the Metropolitan Police. The responsibility for carrying out enforcement activity against drivers committing these moving traffic violations now fell to local Councils.

The report sought a Council resolution to fix an ‘appointed day’ from which the Council would bring into operation the relevant powers, under Section 4 of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003, to enforce moving traffic violations.

Agreed, that in order to assist the Council achieve its Community Priority of “Making Barking and Dagenham Cleaner, Greener and Safer”, to recommend the Assembly to:

1.  Adopt the powers of enforcing moving traffic violations, as provided in the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003; and,

2.  Agree the date of 19 November 2007 as the ‘appointed day’ for bringing those powers into operation within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.
