- Vehicles parked for longer than the purchased time or for longer than permitted in pay and display or limited waiting bays
- Vehicles parked in a suspended bay during controlled hours
- Vehicles parked in a bus stop or bus lane during prohibited hours
- Vehicles parked excessively outside of bay markings
We operate the service in accordance with national legislation, primarily, the Traffic management Act 2004, more information can be found at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/18/contents
