Local authorities set up and support networks to encourage registered community, voluntary, social inclusion and environmental groups to take part in the council's decision-making and policy making processes, and to monitor local authority activities.
Local authorities may take action against drivers who park illegally, do not display a valid parking ticket, permit or motor tax disc, or do not pay required parking charges.
Local authorities may provide traffic calming measures such as signs, road markings, bollards, modified road surfaces, speed ramps and cushions to reduce speed rates and increase road safety.
