16. Concessionary permits are issued to essential workers who are required to visit residents within the controlled parking zone. The concessionary permits will be routinely considered valid for a period of 2 hours. If a stay above this duration is required an exemption can be applied by telephoning 01429 523333. Thereafter and in the event a Penalty Charge Notice has been issued, written confirmation from a line manager would be required.

18. Non compliance of the Traffic Regulation Orders will result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice by Civil Enforcement Officers under the jurisdiction of the Traffic Management Act 2004. This legislation places the responsibility for compliance of any restriction on the registered keeper of the vehicle. It is therefore the owner of the vehicle who would be directly responsible for any Penalty Charge Notice issued irrespective of whether they were responsible for the contravention.
