Northamptonshire County Council (NCC) are consulting on the proposed introduction of body worn video cameras for Parking Enforcement Officers.
The proposed commencement date is 1st April 2018 when the new parking enforcement contract starts.
Body Worn Video Cameras are a proportionate response to help protect Civil Enforcement Officers by reducing the risk of verbal or physical assaults while carrying out their duties. They provide an auditable record of incidents and may also be used to investigate complaints against parking enforcement staff.
The consultation is: open to all stakeholders or interested parties whether they have a direct interest in parking issues or not; to identify any concerns, questions, support or objection to the proposal; and to ensure any decision to implement the proposal takes into account the responses received.
You can take part in the consultation by completing a short online questionnaire, or by sending your comments by post to the Northamptonshire County Council’s Asset and Traffic Management Team or by emailing highways@northamptonshire.gov.uk.
The consultation closes on 22nd November 2017.
Details of this consultation and other past and present consultations are available on Northamptonshire County Council’s Consultation Register.
