Launching on Monday 30th September a new smartphone app, eFine will allow users to report illegally parked cars by sending videos of illegally parked cars securely to the local council.
It is not yet known if Swindon Borough Council will be one of the launch partner councils.
There will be no video saved on the users device, instead, it is processed and stored securely, and then sent straight to the relevant council.
Alex Mühlhölzl, Chief Operating Officer. “The data is sent to us and stored on a secure system, meaning only the council associated with the infringement notice can see the video and decide if a fine should be issued. We don’t even see it.”
eFine will take a 25% share of the infringement fine to cover costs and the user who uploaded the video will also get a 25% share as a thank you for doing a parking officers job.
Users of the app can report back any infringement but Alex expects “Those that have a disability and get impacted by people parking on the footpath, those pushing buggies or elderly on scooters who have to go into traffic to get around the illegally parked vehicle,” to use it the most.
If Swindon Borough Council adopt the app would you use it?
