Good news: local authorities can now (apply to) enforce traffic offences like driving in the bus lane, ignoring "no left/right turn" and "no entry" signs, and blocking box junctions. Previously, only the police could issue fines, but were often too busy to do so. It's a good solution, as local authorities want to solve traffic issues. https://www.southend.gov.uk/news/article/2764/cabinet-set-to-discuss-new-moving-traffic-enforcement-powers
