PARKING IN FRONT OF DROPPED FOOTWAYS/KERBS

Penalty charge notices can be issued if you park in front of a dropped kerb. These type of kerbs are put in place to aid pedestrians in crossing the street or to allow vehicular access to properties.

If you experience difficulties from vehicles parking across your dropped kerb you can contact Parking Services on 01255 686969 Monday to Thursday 08.45 to 17.15 and Friday 08.45 to 16.45. Outside of these hours please call the Councils contact centre on 01255 222727. The operator will take details and we will endeavour to dispatch an Officer as soon as possible to assess the situation.
Please note that we will only respond to complaints regarding blocked access (dropped kerbs) from the HOMEOWNER.

TEMPORARY ROAD CLOSURES

We are responsible for temporary road closures under the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 Section 21. For more information about organising a road closure please call parking services on 01255 686969 or e-mail parkingservices@tendringdc.gov.uk .
