What we enforce

As well as the off-street car parks and on-street pay and display parking, we are also responsible for enforcing

• double and single yellow lines
• blue badge bays
• limited waiting bays
• taxi ranks
• loading bays
• parking in bus lanes and stops
• being in a bus lane
• zig-zag markings at schools (if restrictions apply) and pedestrian crossings
• parking across dropped kerbs where there’s a crossing point, with or without tactile paving
• double parking (parking too far from the kerb)

You can report illegal parking to us online. We will use your report to plan future patrols.

The police will continue to be responsible for dealing with:

• dangerously parked vehicles including where there are no parking restrictions in place such as on bends, brows of hills and junctions
• obstruction offences – for example pavement with no parking restrictions
• moving traffic offences including double white lines, one-way traffic, white hatched areas and box junctions

You can report these issues to the police by calling 101.

Parking across dropped kerbs where there’s a crossing point and tactile paving, double parking or parking too far from the kerb and parking on zig-zag markings at pedestrian crossings can be enforced by both us and the police.
