Parking Services enforcement policy

Aim of Parking Services and background

Aim of Parking Services

We manage and enforce the councils off and on street parking areas. We enforce all parking and waiting restrictions across the councils network including but not restricted to single and double yellow lines, residential parking zones.

We ensure the main traffic networks remain free flowing and free of obstruction to assist with the flow of traffic across Wiltshire.

We improve safety for pedestrians, cyclist and other road users by keeping highways and junctions clear.

We improve access for emergency services.

The purpose of the service is multi layered, we provide a visible presence within car parks and on-street pay and display areas to increase compliance, this protects the councils income.

We assist with targeted enforcement outside schools and events, such as the Summer Solstice at Stonehenge.

We provide a firm but fair enforcement regime, with a robust and transparent appeals process should our customers wish to challenge any Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) that are issued.
