The council is also responsible for enforcing paid for parking bays and permit bays. Please be aware though that most parking permits and exemptions are virtual which means they are arranged through an online process and the holder is not required to display anything in their vehicle. Our officers can trace a parking permit or exemption associated with a parked vehicle when they enter the vehicle registration into their handheld equipment.
Parking enforcement is carried out by a contractor on the council’s behalf and may result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice.
You can use our online service to report incorrect parking and enforcement will be carried out as resources allow.
If you cannot complete an online form to make your report, you can call our contact centre between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, on 0300 303 8662 (option 5), and an advisor will complete the report on your behalf.
Outside of these hours, please use the online form and your report will be directed to enforcement officers on duty.
