Because there are no ‘Traffic Wardens’ patrolling the ‘Common’ car park, residents and users might think that by parking there for a few minutes, that they will ‘get away’ without paying.

We have been advised by a number of users that they have received a ‘Park Charge Notice’ from District Enforcement. Users, by parking there in excess of 10 minutes (drivers only have 10 minutes grace to make a payment – there is no notification about this on site!) and not paying will receive a Park Charge Notice. There is an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) camera at the gate and this camera logs all vehicle registration numbers in and out. Be warned!

Of course if a disabled driver has pre-registered their vehicle and other drivers have purchased a season ticket then this does not apply to them.
