What are these services?

Parking

We are responsible for on-street car parking in North Yorkshire. The district councils and national parks are responsible for most public off-street car parks.

Successfully managing on-street parking provision has major benefits for the road network, including:

  • Enabling residents to park near to their properties;
  • Helping businesses with deliveries;
  • Improving access to public transport;
  • Improving air quality;
  • Improving road safety;
  • Making it easier to park in town centres which benefits the local economy; and
  • Reducing congestion.

We have a legal obligation to keep the roads free moving, safe and available to all users and we use parkingwaiting and loading restrictions to achieve this.

Civil parking enforcement

Civil parking enforcement means that the powers to enforce on-street parking, loading and waiting restrictions are transferred from the police to the local highway authority. Civil parking enforcement is operational throughout North Yorkshire. All local authorities within North Yorkshire are working together on this service. There will be no clamping or removal of vehicles by either council. 

Enforcement of on and off street parking will be carried out on our behalf and on behalf of the respective district council by:

  • Scarborough Borough Council in the Hambleton, Ryedale, Richmondshire,and Scarborough areas; and by
  • Harrogate Borough Council in the Craven, Harrogate and Selby areas.

Reporting a parking infringement

You can report a parking infringement on a road or in council-run off-street car parks as follows.

North Yorkshire Police retain sole responsibility for certain non-yellow line parking offences on the roads such as dangerous parking, obstruction and all moving traffic offences. You can call 101 or e-mail general.enquiries@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk.
