Three Rivers District Council has announced it will be resuming normal parking enforcement from next week.

Normal parking arrangements have been relaxed during the national lockdown, with enforcement action only taken against vehicles that parked dangerously, blocked junctions or caused an obstruction.

But from March 29, motorists will need to hold a permit or visitor voucher when parking in a permit bay and will need to purchase a pay and display ticket when parking in a pay and display car park.

Permit holders and visitor voucher holders are no longer able to park on yellow lines during restricted times. 

To compensate for the three months reduced service, existing permits will be extended by three months at the permit renewal time.

If permits have expired during this period then permit holders will be contacted to renew their permit and this will also be extended.

Health care and critical workers displaying the national parking pass issued by their employer can continue to park in permit bays and pay and display bays in car parks free of charge.
