Slough Borough Council

On Street Parking Enforcement

Slough Borough Council are now responsible for enforcing parking, loading and waiting restrictions in the borough. You will hear the scheme referred to as Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) or Parking Watch.

A team of Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO) enforce the restrictions. Priority is given to areas where illegal parking causes the worst problems. Their patrols also include council-operated car parks.

Vehicles parked in contravention cause congestion and slow down other road users. They also create inconvenience for everyone, including legitimate parkers, delivery vehicles, the emergency services, and bus users.

Road markings such as yellow lines, loading bays, bus stops and residents zones, indicate that some sort of restriction applies. Notices nearby will always explain what the restriction is. If in doubt check the notice. You are responsible for making sure your vehicle is not parked within a restricted area and not causing an obstruction.

You will get a parking ticket if you:

• Park in areas where waiting or loading restrictions are in force
• Park in a resident’s parking space without displaying a valid permit
• Park in a specially reserved bay, e.g. a loading place, a disabled bay or a taxi rank unless you are authorised to do so
• Park at a bus stop or in a bus lane during prohibited hours
• Park in a pay and display bay and do not display a valid pay and display ticket or voucher
• If your car is causing a safety hazard, source of congestion or obstruction the Police may remove it
• Park for longer than you have paid for

You can call or email us to report cars parked in restricted areas – residents can call 01753 551018 or email parking@slough.gov.uk if they see a car parked in a dangerous place.
