Car Parks – Regulations and Conditions of Use
Cheshire East Council owns and operates a range of car parks and parking places throughout the
Borough to which it devises a parking
strategy and then applies and enforces the regulations and conditions of parking. It also
has responsibility for enforcement of parking and waiting
restrictions on streets, mainly yellow line restrictions.
With the introduction of Civil Parking Enforcement, Cheshire
East Council has taken over the responsibility for enforcing
parking, loading and waiting, and other restrictions at various
locations. Illegal parking on the street will no longer be classed
as a criminal offence and becomes a civil contravention. Civil
Enforcement Officers will issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) to
any vehicle parking illegally and will enforce on-street parking as
well as in car parks.CEOs will visit the busiest central zone car
parks most often to ensure that customers comply with the rules on
each site. Fines (known as Penalty Charge Notices or
PCN
s) will be given to those
who do not comply.
There are also privately run off-street car parks – these are
not the responsibility of this Council. if you have a query
concerning these, please contact the company directly.

Car Parking Public Notices

area that may affect them, the council will publish a public notice
to describe this.
