This area of our site holds information about public car parking operated by the Council within the Borough of Havant. This includes parking in Council-owned off-street car parks as well as the enforcement of on-street restrictions such as single and double yellow lines, loading restrictions and bus stop clearways, including proposals for new restrictions. This overall management of parking both on and off street comprises the ParkSafe scheme, aimed at making the streets safer for all users.
The council is a member of the Parking and Traffic Regulations Outside London (PATROL) Adjudication Joint Committee. The Joint Committee publishes an Annual Statement of Accounts which is subject ot External Audit and the arrangements for 2010/11 can be found at http://www.patrol-uk.info/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=34&pageID=69
This authority is under a duty to protect the public funds it administers, and to this end may use the information you have provided us on your permit application form for the prevention and detection of fraud. It may also share this information with other bodies responsible for auditing or administering public funds for these purposes.
The Audit Commission currently requires us to participate in its anti-fraud initiative. For this initiative, we are providing details of residents permit holders for the purposes of comparing these with information provided by other public bodies. These exercises help ensure the best use of public funds.
