Stationary motorists in Sefton could be fined for leaving engines running if plans are approved http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1259339766
PLANS to fine motorists who leave their engines on when stationary in Sefton have been proposed.
The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) is seeking authorisation for plans to hand drivers on the spot fines of up to £40 if they do not switch off their vehicle when stood still for more than a couple of minutes.
This has come after the EPD received a number of complaints about stationary cars being left with their engine running whilst waiting at level crossing barriers, as well as waiting for buses and delivery vehicles to move on.
In particular, numerous complaints about bus drivers leaving engines on for up to 30 minutes have been received and concerned members of the public brought up the issue during the recent consultation process.
