EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Civil Enforcement of Parking Contraventions (Penalty Charge Notices, Enforcement and Adjudication) (Wales) Regulations 2008/609.

Specifically these Regulations amend sub-paragraph 1(g) of the Schedule, removing the words “on which the alleged contravention occurred” and replacing them with the words “on which the notice is served.”

The reason for the amendment is to ensure a fair system, whereby all persons receiving a penalty charge notice have equal time to pay the charge
