Parking
We are here to supply all road users with fair and reasonable parking. We try to make it as simple as possible for all road users to find the information they need to park legally and hopefully, to find the parking space they need.
We are responsible for:- Apparently abandoned vehicles
- Disposal of unwanted vehicles
- Enforcement of the Commercial Use of Footpaths policy
- Dealing with illegally parked vehicles
We aim to ensure:
- Vehicles are parked safely, correctly and in accordance with the law
- Roads are kept clear to enable the free flow of traffic
- On street parking is used fairly
- People park in the desired manner
- Businesses comply with the Commercial Use of Footpaths policy
To do this, we sometimes issue tickets to those who are not abiding by the various rules. These rules are clearly explained through signage in specific areas, and direct discussion with business owners.
What else do we do
As well as handing out parking tickets, we are available to help on a day-to-day basis, including:
- General information and directions
- Escorting people to their destination
- Finding lost vehicles (when a driver has forgotten where they parked)
- We have a safety education programme for school children and are involved in radio talkback and various other public relations enterprises.
