JMP has been commissioned by the London Borough of Enfield to undertake a strategic review of the processes and criteria used for the provision of disabled person’s parking bays across the Borough.
The work is in line with the reform being carried out at national level by the Department for Transport and includes a complete review of the processes used in assessing disabled persons bay applications to the delivery of the service to residents.
The Borough wants to identify areas for improvement, as well as the means for overcoming some of the more difficult issues faced with regard to disabled persons parking bay provision. There are currently 1,232 on-street bays in Enfield, with an increasing demand for this service.
JMP will be benchmarking the criteria used in Enfield for the provision of this service against the legislative framework, guidance and information from stakeholders, used by other London Boroughs to highlight any areas for improvement.
New ways of working are being considered to deal with the volume, location and operation of disabled persons bays, using similar processes already in use within other service areas to bring about coordination and consolidate activities that will result in economies.
