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 Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE) or Parking Watch.

A team of parking attendants enforce the restrictions. Priority is given to areas where illegal parking causes the worst problems. Their patrols also include council-operated car parks.

Illegally parked vehicles 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 that your vehicle is legally parked and not causing an obstruction. If you are parked legally, you will not get a parking ticket.

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 for longer than you have paid for
• If your car is causing a safety hazard, source of congestion or obstruction the Police may remove it

You can call or email us to report cars parked in restricted areas – residents can call 01753 518989 or email parking@slough.gov.uk if they see a car parked in a dangerous place.
