Online forms temporarily offline
We are aware of a nationwide outage affecting access to our online forms. We are currently investigating this with our provider, Granicus.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
Parking and traffic restrictions
Where you can and cannot park, traffic signs, signals and restrictions, illegal parking and fines, controlled parking zones, resident parking zones, traffic exclusion zones and moving traffic enforcement.
Moving traffic enforcement
Moving traffic enforcement is where we monitor and fine drivers of vehicles that do not follow the instructions or directions given by a red or blue sign:
- red signs are prohibitions
- blue signs are directions
These are sometimes accompanied by additional road markings.
For more on the signs that are subject to traffic enforcement, go to Traffic Management Act 2004: statutory guidance for local authorities outside London on civil enforcement of bus lane and moving traffic contraventions.

Why we use moving traffic enforcement
Vehicles that contravene driving restrictions create potential dangers to both pedestrians and other road users.
Whilst the police carry out enforcement, with these new powers we can also carry out enforcement, to reduce the casual disregard of the restrictions in place at some locations.
This is not something that we will be able to do everywhere but we can consider other locations in the future.
