The Police continue to enforce other traffic offences which can result in penalty points on a driving licence. This includes dangerous parking, causing an obstruction and all moving traffic offences.
We have no intention of introducing this within the Borough.
Commercial vehicles are generally allowed to stop on yellow lines to collect and deliver goods and drivers will usually be allowed to load or unload if items are heavy, bulky or if there are a large number of items which would involve more than one trip. Obviously, vehicles must be moved after the delivery or collection has taken place. Parking on yellow lines to buy a newspaper or drop off dry cleaning, etc., does not constitute loading or unloading and a vehicle would be subject to the issue of a PCN. Don't ignore a PCN if you get one - it won't go away.
Loading is not permitted at places where the parked vehicle could cause an obstruction.
Often there will be yellow 'blips' on the kerb. These warn that there is a loading restriction. Two 'blips' mean no loading at any time. One 'blip' means that loading is restricted at certain times, as shown on a white plate which is normally attached to a post or lighting column. Even blue badge holders with badges and time clocks are not allowed to park where there are loading restrictions in force.
