Everything below was read out of a PDF by a model It is useful and it is not authoritative. The document it came from is linked in the rail, and where the two disagree the document is right.

The report proposed that Brighton & Hove City Council seek powers to enforce moving traffic offences, including banned turns, yellow box junctions, traffic prohibitions and school streets. It recommended a statutory consultation on the proposed powers and initial enforcement locations, followed by an application for the powers if considered appropriate.

Recommendation

That Committee approve a statutory consultation on the powers to be sought and the rationale for the application, and delegate authority to the Executive Director for Economy, Environment & Culture to consider the consultation responses and apply for the powers if appropriate.

Financial impact

The consultation can be funded from existing revenue budgets. It is anticipated that income from the measures would cover implementation and ongoing revenue costs; the revenue budget impact is estimated to be neutral, with initial procurement funded through a spend-to-save approach.
