Basildon council is planning to introduce a Smart car packed with the latest technology to catch dangerous and inconsiderate drivers outside schools and in the high street.
This hi-tech 'Nosey Parker' is the latest weapon in the council’s armoury to help enforce parking regulations at sensitive and potentially dangerous sites.
The Smart spy car system purchase and deployment is being jointly funded and used by the parking and environmental enforcement teams to patrol not only outside school gates but also along clearways and other roads where stopping is not allowed. It is expected to pay for itself.
It will be equipped with a CCTV recording system which will gather evidence of offences as they are being committed. It will also carry an automatic number plate recognition system which will be able to home in on vehicles and make a photographic record of where they are parked.
After being downloaded and reviewed back at base, the information will be used to decide whether to issue a parking ticket to the car’s keeper.
The council intends to deploy this highly mobile detector vehicle in hot spots throughout the district and expects it to bring big parking and environmental benefits both as a deterrent and an enforcer.
