THE DOOMED Parkwise scheme was a mistake from the start, according to Lancashire’s new highways boss.
This week sees the start of a new regime for parking enforcement, with two different sets of traffic wardens to patrol off-street car parks and roadside spaces.
It follows the breakdown of the Parkwise agreement between County Hall and the 12 district councils, whereby everything was done under one roof.
Tory Keith Young, cabinet member for highways, said: “We shouldn’t have gone down the route of getting into bed with all the councils.
“They tried to do it all together with one administration and the result was chaos.”
