Council parking patrol officers are trained to assist the local community with information and advice. They are also authorised to issue penalty notices for a range of offences.
Penalty notices may be issued directly to a person, placed on a vehicle or sent by mail.
The amount charged for a penalty notice is set by legislation and once issued it can not be withdrawn by the officer. However, you can request a review or elect to have the matter heard in court.
Photos of an offence can be requested from council or the SDRO - find out more.
