To ask the Minister for Infrastructure why parking attendants cannot be deployed to enforce parking restrictions in Helen’s Bay (i) before 9am; (ii) after 5pm; and (iii) on Sundays.

In the North Down enforcement area, the normal working hours of Traffic Attendants is Monday to Saturday, 8:00 am – 6.30pm. Actual enforcement hours are less that this due to the time needed for vehicle checks and travel to and from sites. Enforcement outside of these times is possible but as it comes with an additional charge to the Department, it is used only when absolutely necessary.
