Parking enforcement 

Except Christmas Day and Easter Sunday, we enforce parking in the following areas:

  • double yellow lines
  • footway/ pavement parking
  • where a loading ban is in operation (indicated by a single/double yellow line with adjacent kerb chevrons and a nearby sign stating the hours during which loading is not permitted)
  • bus stops
  • school zig-zag lines
  • dropped kerb
  • double parking
  • car club bays
  • coach bays
  • dedicated disabled permit holder bays
  • electric vehicle charging bays
  • temporary suspended bays 

Moving traffic enforcement by ANPR CCTV

Moving traffic contraventions will be enforced 24 hour hours, seven days a week, throughout any holiday period, except those restrictions that are not permitted under the relevant Traffic Management Orders (TMO). Bus lane and moving traffic restrictions, such as box junctions, low traffic neighbourhood, restricted vehicle entry, vehicle weight/ width restriction and banned turns are enforced as normal on public and bank holidays.
