To ask the Cabinet Member to authorise the council to exercise its powers as an approved local authority under The Bus Lane Contraventions (Approved Local Authorities)(England) Order 2005 to issue civil penalties for breaches of Traffic regulation orders in relation to Bus Lanes or Bus Gates in Peterborough. Set the level of penalty charge payable for such an offence at £60, reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days.
