Lichfield District Council are now responsible for patrolling streets in Lichfield District and issuing tickets to anyone parked wrongly on streets marked with yellow lines or other types of parking bays or restrictions.
Parking regulations are there for a reason - to keep traffic flowing and the community safe. Poor parking blocks pavements for people with sight or mobility problems and parents with buggies. It can also block roads for emergency vehicles.
As we already patrol most local car parks, it makes sense for us to look after parking on local streets as well. Parking restrictions will not change, but a team of parking officers, rather than the police, will issue tickets to drivers who park incorrectly.
So, be warned: if you park in the wrong place or for the wrong length of time, we will issue you with a parking ticket.
