Park Safely in Crewe & Nantwich

From 21st January 2008 Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council takes over responsibility for enforcing parking, loading and waiting restrictions from the Police.

The County Council remains responsible for making the restrictions. The Borough Council will undertake enforcement as agents of the County Council using their own Parking Attendants.

 21st January   Car Parks  £60.00 FINE  

Right now if you commit a parking offence such as parking on double yellow lines, a Police Officer or Police Community Support Officer will issue a Fixed Penalty Notice.

After 21st January our Parking Attendants will issue Penalty Charge Notices (fines) instead.

Why has the Borough Council taken over responsibility for parking?

To free the Police to fight crime and other traffic offences.

What are the FACTS?

  • The Borough will get better enforcement of parking regulations, which will target bad and dangerous parking
  • The Council will use fine money to pay for the costs of enforcement, using any left over to improve transport and parking in the Borough
  • Parking Attendants will be employed direct by the Council, not a private company.They will NOT have targets or bonuses
  • The Attendants will patrol when and where they are needed to sort out parking problems
  • Parking restrictions are NOT changing- they will just be enforced better
  • The fine or Penalty Charge Notice amount is £60 -reduced to £30 if paid within 14 days of issue
