Parking

Our district has a number of parking arrangements. In this section you will find details of the car parks that are run by Stratford-on-Avon District Council, the new on-street parking arrangements we now enforce as well as residents parking in some of the towns which require permits.

If you want to either pay for or appeal against a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), you can do so with our online payment system.

Traffic Management Act 2004

Changes to the way Stratford District Council enforce parking regulations are on the way, as the Government's long awaited Civil Enforcement Regulations are to come into effect on 31 March 2008.The new regulations, which form Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004, are the biggest change to parking enforcement in England and Wales for many years.Under the new regulations this activity will become known as Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) and Parking Attendants will become known as Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO's).There will be two levels of Penalty Charges, depending on the severity of contraventions.

New Tariff's for Penalty Charge Notices (PCN's)

Currently, over 50% of Penalty Charge Notices issued in Stratford District would fall into the less serious category and so many people in the district who fall foul of parking regulations will be paying less in the future.The new regulations, which cover on street and off street parking, aim to make parking fairer and more transparent, and provide motorists with a consistent service across the country.Preparations include a full review of local parking orders, road markings and traffic signs to ensure they comply with the new regulations; changes are also required to IT systems, uniforms, printed stationery and staff training.
