Enforcement and Appeal Policy
=============================

The Council’s approach to its enforcement service and appeal management are in accordance with Dft Guidance, the British Parking Association and PATROL of which the Council is a member.

The issue of a PCN will always be the last resort where the Council believes a parking contravention has occurred.

We report annually to PATROL and copies of those reports can be read online. Our enforcement and appeals policies are also available to view at;
