Parking Services
Parking Services includes the operation of the council's car
parks and enforcement of the on-street parking
regulations.
Wyre Forest District Council took over responsibility for the
management of Parking Enforcement throughout the district from West
Mercia Police. Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) who are employed
by the Council, (as opposed to Traffic Wardens who were
employed by the police), patrol the streets and car parks.
If you are a driver who parks your vehicle correctly, the
changes will not have affected you in any way.
We do 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 your vehicle is parked in a pay and display car park managed by
the Council and you are contravening the regulations, you can
expect a Penalty Charge Notice to be issued.
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.
