Search the Public Notice PortalWest Dunbartonshire Council are expecting to make thousands of pounds when new parking enforcement rules are implemented this year.
At this week’s Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development (IRED) Committee meeting, councillors asked for an update on the plans to introduce decriminalised parking enforcement across the authority.
Information given by Gail MacFarlane, chief officer for roads and neighbourhoods, gave a better picture of how and when the scheme will commence.
Gail MacFarlane said: "This has been estimated using our intelligence and looking at other local authorities, and what the likely income to be.
"There is an elected member briefing scheduled for the beginning of September, and that will run through what the implementation will look like and any queries or concerns from elected members.
"That's looking towards an Autumn start date."

Cllr Lawrence O'Neill asked MacFarlane if it is definitely to be introduced before the start of the year.
She replied: "Yes, we are anticipating the Autumn of this year."
Later in the meeting, Cllr Rooney asked for more explanation of a £150k project to upgrade road markings and signage.
He said: "My understanding is this £150k is for part of parking enforcement, assuming it's approved, when will this project be complete and is completion of the project dependent on parking enforcement being enforced?"
MacFarlane replied: “The lining and signing upgrades are to support the enforcement of decriminalised parking enforcement.
"We are required that if we issue a parking ticket that there is adequate signage for drivers in the vicinity so they can make an informed decision around their parking behaviour.
"There have been some locations that have been identified which require upgrades, and these will be commenced imminently. Some locations have already commenced as we are utilising the summer period."

This comes as we previously reported that the initial phase of the enforcement has been completed, with full implementation still on track for 2025.
It is understood that enforcement in residential areas will be reactive, with no proactive monitoring planned due to resource constraints.
Implementation is set to begin in key areas such as town centres and schools, based on existing road markings and signage.
