Penalty Charge Notices

If you do not buy and clearly display a ticket for the correct amount or if you ignore the parking regulations (lines and signs), you will be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.

Our policy for the enforcement and cancellation of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) is available to download below.

Parking regulations

For the safety of people, protection of vehicles and general use of on and off street parking, all car park and road users are asked to park according to set regulations under the Traffic Management Act 2004. You can view the full text of the Act on the Office of Public Sector Information website using the link below.

A copy of our Parking Orders (on-street and off-street) which describes our enforcement powers under the Act are available to download below.
