Broken down vehicles in parking areas

Cars broken down in a car park

If your car breaks down in a car park, you can leave it there but you must park it correctly inside a marked bay. You must display enough paycards to cover the time until it's collected or pay for a long enough session if using PaybyPhone.

It's not enough to place a note on your vehicle saying it's broken down. This will result in a parking fine being issued.

Contact the Parking Control Office to advise of the circumstances and provide your:

  • contact number
  • vehicle location
  • vehicle registration number

You can also email this information.

If your car breaks down in a short stay car park during the weekend and your garage is closed you should contact the Parking Control Office. You must display enough paycards to cover the time until it's collected or pay for a long enough session if using PaybyPhone.

​Cars broken down in a residents’ parking zone

If your car breaks down in a residents' parking zone (RPZ), you should contact the Parish Wardens to provide your:

  • contact details
