Report parking permit fraud to our Veritau Team - they investigate all suspected fraud, on our behalf.
We rely on you reporting suspected fraud to us, and investigate all reports we receive.
Any information you provide can be reported anonymously if you wish.
Parking permit fraud
It's an offence to use a residents' parking permit, or visitor parking permit ('scratch card' or digital visitor parking permit) if you're:
- not resident at the property
- not visiting the stated property at the time of use
We also investigate cases of misuse of guest house parking permits.
Blue Badge fraud
Misuse of a disabled person’s parking badge (known as a Blue Badge) is also an offence.
We're committed to taking action against Blue Badge fraud and misuse, and will prosecute offenders in serious cases.
A Blue Badge can only be used in the following circumstances:
- Where the badge holder is travelling as the driver or passenger in a vehicle
- Where the badge holder is being dropped off or collected and the driver needs to park where the blue badge holder is being dropped off or collected
A blue badge cannot be used by someone undertaking an errand or collecting something for the badge holder. A blue badge cannot be used to benefit the driver while the badge holder waits in the car.
Fraud prevention and data matching
We carry out regular fraud prevention and data matching exercises to protect ourselves against fraud.
