Parking Enforcement rules changed on Monday 31 March 2008. The penalty charge is dependent upon the seriousness of the parking contravention - the charges are £50 or £70. Examples of how a charge is determined are listed below:
- Parking in a place where it is allowed but staying longer than the parking ticket you have paid for would be a lower charge.
- Parking in a place that is prohibited - such as yellow lines, would attract a higher charge.
A parking penalty will be reduced by 50% if the charge is paid within 14 days. If a parking penalty is not paid by the date stated the charge may increase by 50%.
Additional changes to parking enforcement rules are:
- Parking penalty charges, in some circumstances, may be sent by post.
- Parking enforcement can be used for dangerous parking at pedestrian crossings (obscuring visibility for drivers and pedestrians).
