We are jointly responsible for parking enforcement in our area, alongside Nottinghamshire County Council and six other district councils.
Paying your parking fine
The easiest way to pay your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) is online on the Nottinghamshire Council website.
You can also pay by telephone or post. Find out how here: Pay a parking fine (Penalty Charge Notice) or CCTV parking fine (Penalty Charge Notice) – Nottinghamshire County Council
Challenging a parking fine
If you receive a parking ticket or Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and wish to challenge it visit Challenge a parking fine (Penalty Charge Notice) – Nottinghamshire County Council.
Parking near schools and CCTV car
The Notts Parking Partnership is warning drivers not to park on school 'keep clear' markings. The county CCTV car is now patrolling schools to help discourage dangerous and inconsiderate parking near schools.
Parking on school ‘keep clear’ markings can seriously impact road safety and endanger children. Only park in marked areas and help us keep our school children safe.
Motorists caught parking on restricted areas near schools or in bus stops will be issued with a £70 fine.
Find out more about parking regulations on the county council’s website.
Enforcement
Since 2008 most parking restrictions can be enforced by Civil Enforcement Officers (traffic wardens) working on behalf of the District Council.
This includes the council’s pay and display car parks, single/double yellow lines, loading bays, disabled parking bays, taxi bays and bus stops.
Parking in Newark and Sherwood is covered by the NSDC Civil Enforcement Off Street Parking Places Order 2017 (PDF, 963kb).
More information about Civil Parking Enforcement (including PCNs and NtOs) is available on the Patrol UK website.
