What does bank holiday enforcement mean?
We operate a consistent approach to bank holiday parking enforcement which is set out below. While not all parking restrictions apply, enforcement will still take place where there are safety and traffic flow implications or where the vehicle is causing an obstruction.

Bus lanes and moving traffic restrictions (such as box junctions and banned turns) are enforced as normal on bank holidays.

Which parking restrictions are in operation on bank holidays?

Certain restrictions will still apply on bank holidays and a penalty charge notice may be issued to vehicles parked in the circumstances and/or locations listed below.
•Double yellow lines
•Where a loading ban is in operation (indicated by a single/double yellow line with adjacent kerb chevrons and a nearby sign stating the hours during which loading is not permitted)
•Bus stops
•Footway parking
•Zig-zag lines
•Parking across a dropped footway
•Double parking
•Car Club bays
•Coach bays
•Diplomatic bays
•Dedicated disabled permit holder bays
