DoI Doesn’t Know Value of Parking Fines

The Department of Infrastructure does not hold records of total revenue from parking fines for the last four years.

In response to written question, DoI Minister Dr Michelle Haywood say this information would need to be obtained from the General Registry.

The DoI currently employs six officers acting as parking controllers, five are part-time and one full-time.

The DoI Minister said that these officers cover the entirety of the island rather than any defined number of beats.

She added: “The team operate a focused enforcement model underpinned by a risk-based approach. Busy areas are monitored more frequently than remote locations, while ensuring fairness and maintaining a visible presence across the island.

“In addition to the Department’s enforcement activity, several local authorities have officers appointed as parking controllers. However, only a very small number are currently active in issuing fixed penalties.

“While the Department issues fixed penalties for parking contraventions, the collection of fines is managed by the General Registry, and all payments are credited into the island’s general revenue.”
