Notice is hereby given that the Council of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (the Council) resolved on 22 July 2009 to exercise the powers conferred by Sections 4 and 7 of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 to issue penalty charge notices for the road traffic contraventions described in Schedule 3 to that Act within the Borough.

The general effect of this is that the enforcement in respect of these road traffic offences will pass from the Metropolitan Police to the Council and that these road traffic offences will no longer be criminal offences but will be contraventions for which a penalty charge notice may be issued. The Council intends to commence the operation of these powers with effect from 22 November 2009.

In general terms, these road traffic contraventions are those:

• requiring vehicles to proceed in a particular direction

• prohibiting vehicles making certain movements or turning in a certain direction;

• restricting some or all vehicles from using certain roads or routes or restricted areas;

• relating to yellow box junctions.

If you require any more information, please telephone 020 8227 3493.
