CEO duties above and beyond the norm

13 July 2009

You may be forgiven for thinking of a corporate CEO, but there is a new CEO in town. They are the civil enforcement officers of the UK and they mean business. What civil enforcement officers do is they look after the best interests of motorists on the UK’s roads and streets.

Their aim is to promote correct parking and adhering to the city’s parking laws. These laws are there for the safety of all and need to be enforced. The CEO is there to make sure that all motorists can safely and easily use the roads, parking areas and streets in the city.

When duty calls

Civil enforcement officers can issue you with what is known as a PCN. A PCN is a penalty charge notice, otherwise known as a parking ticket. They are there to aid you in understanding and adhering to parking laws and nab habitual parking offenders. Civil enforcement officers also need to report all broken traffic and parking signs and equipment. This makes it easier and more efficient for the city to deal with the problem.

They are also there to keep an eye on stationary items parked in public parking bays. This mostly refers to things like skips, and to make sure that they comply with the laws surrounding the situation.

Civil enforcement officers also need to report vehicles that are operating, parking included, without a valid tax disc. They make use of various equipment and hand held computing gadgets to help them in their cause. Civil enforcement officers are very much needed in a country as congested and overfull as the UK.
