Cork — Traffic Warden Authority Challenge

Cork City Council FCPNs are 'issued by Traffic Wardens acting on behalf of Cork City Council'. The wardens must be appointed under the Local Authorities (Traffic Wardens) Act 1975 and their appointment must be in force at the date of issue. Where the issuing warden's appointment, identification or authorisation cannot be evidenced, the notice is open to challenge.

Legal basis

Local Authorities (Traffic Wardens) Act 1975; Cork City and County Borough Bye-Laws under Roads Act 1993 s.36.

How to identify this in your case

Any Cork FCPN — request the issuing warden's appointment particulars as part of disclosure.
