School parking leaflet

Derbyshire Police have shared the below information and attached leaflet asking that the Parish Council informs the local community:

Hello All,

With the new school year in full swing, we have seen complaints around school parking. SDDC have created a new school leaflet (attached) which has gone out to all schools in South Derbyshire.

As you will be aware a lot of parking offences have been de criminalised for many years, taken over and enforced by County council enforcement officers however, it still appears to be unknown of this fact by many.

When you receive complaints around parking could you please pass on the below and encourage the complainant to report to the correct agency to resolve the matter.

Thankyou.

Civil enforcement officers (CEOs) have replaced traditional traffic wardens and enforce a range of restrictions. Managing the enforcement of on-street regulations. District and borough councils manage off-street enforcement (such as pay and display car parks).
