Parking Services includes the operation of the council's car parks, park-and-ride sites, some residents’ parking schemes and from October, the Council will enforce the on-street parking regulations.
Wyre Forest District Council have taken over responsibility for the management of parking enforcement throughout the district from West Mercia Police. Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO's) employed by the Council (as opposed to Traffic Wardens who are employed by the police), will be patrolling the streets and car parks.
If you are a driver who parks your vehicle correctly, these changes will not affect you in any way.
We will be doing it to:
- Reduce congestion by controlling the parking of vehicles on street, thus leaving designated parking bays for the correct vehicles i.e. loading bays and disabled bays
- Encourage safe and sensible parking for all motorists
- Allow buses to operate more effectively
- Improve the flow of traffic and improve the environment
If the Penalty Charge Notice is not paid, the amount will revert back to the original amount of the contravention, and the recovery process will start.
It is the driver’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked in accordance with the parking regulations at all times.
