Vehicles without valid tickets

Vehicles parked in respark zones without valid permits may receive penalty charge notices (parking tickets).

During patrolling hours you can call the free parking hot line on 0800 1381119 to report vehicles that are parking without displaying either a permit or a blue disabled badge for longer than the permitted time. We aim to attend within 45 minutes of receiving the call.

Abuse of the scheme

You cannot sell permits or give them to others who do not live in the zone. If you report someone abusing the scheme we investigate in confidence. If abuse has occurred we can withdraw permits and/or issue penalty charge notices to the vehicle concerned.

To report scheme abuses and vehicles without valid permits contact Parking Services or report it on the free parking hotline 0800 1381119. Please note that the Parking Office is open from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and from 9am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm on Saturday. The Parking Hotline is available during the patrolling hours of the Parking enforcement team.
