Please provide responses to the following, where applicable:



Q1. Does your authority currently enforce any EV charging bays (e.g. through a Traffic Regulation Order or other legal mechanism)?

If yes, please provide:

Q2. The number of publicly accessible EV charging bays currently managed by the council or under its parking enforcement remit.

Q4. If held, the number of drivers who received more than one PCN for EV bay misuse during this period.



Q5. If your authority does not manage or enforce EV charging bays, please confirm this in response.

5. Lincolnshire County Council does not currently manage any on-street EV charging bays under its parking enforcement remit. Accordingly, there are no on-street EV charging bays to enforce.

Those EV charging bays which are managed by Lincolnshire County Council are not on-street – they are located on the premises of buildings managed by the County Council. Management of these bays is the responsibility of staff at the relevant location.
