Information about parking fines

Penalties can be issued at any time of day or night, including Sundays/Bank Holidays, as some restrictions are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Penalties are sometimes issued because a Blue Badge, Pay and Display ticket or Permit may not have been clearly visible, incorrectly completed, or the details may not match your vehicle. 

You must have the correct money to pay from the time you first stop in a parking bay. Going for change after you have parked is not a valid reason to appeal a parking penalty. If you do not have the correct change you can use the RingGo online parking service.

To appeal a ticket issued while you were loading/unloading from a vehicle we will require proof of the activity such as a copy of an invoice or delivery sheet.

You are not permitted to park on zig-zag markings at any time or for any reason.

If you have parked in a time restricted area you cannot move from one bay to another to increase the time you can remain in the area. This includes moving further down a road or around a corner from where you initially parked.

Vehicles should always be parked within the bay markings. If your vehicle is parked over the bay markings a penalty may be issued.

If any part of your car is parked across a dropped kerb, a parking ticket may be issued.
