From 5th November 2007 Stroud District Council took over responsibility for the enforcement of parking regulations from Gloucestershire Police on behalf of Gloucestershire County Council.
The changes were brought about by the need to help traffic to flow more freely, public transport to keep to timetables and deliveries to get to where they are meant to be on time. School children, pedestrians and cyclists will feel safer and have improved access with fewer vehicles parked on the pavement or blocking cycle routes.
The Council is putting a greater effort into keeping the streets clear of illegally parked vehicles. Parking Attendants have the responsibility of issuing penalty charge notices to people who ignore parking restrictions and park illegally.
