West Lothian return for traffic wardens 'could be three years away'

A final decision on whether to bring in traffic wardens to help control parking problems in towns and villages across West Lothian is 'literally miles away', a senior councillor has warned.

The introduction of Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE) to the county is among the options being considered by the council.

If agreed it would shift parking enforcement away from the police and give the council the control to impose fines and even confiscate vehicles. As one of the report’s authors said: “It gives the council powers. It allows things to be targeted as required.”
