These Regulations amend the Removal and Disposal of Vehicles Regulations 1986 in relation to Wales (save for those parts of the Severn Crossings which are in Wales) so as to allow civil enforcement officers to remove vehicles which have been permitted to remain at rest on a road in a civil enforcement area in Wales.
Such removal may only take place where a civil enforcement officer has fixed a penalty charge notice to the vehicle, or has handed such a notice to the person appearing to be in charge of the vehicle.
Penalty charge notices issued in relation to vehicles in designated parking places which are issued in respect of parking charges, failing to display a ticket or parking device or failing to remove the vehicle from a parking place at the end of a period for which a charge was paid, will not warrant removal of the vehicle concerned, until the expiry of the “appropriate period” as defined by new regulation 5C(4).
