Parking
Poor parking can be a real problem for local communities.
Blocked pavements and streets are dangerous and annoying for
everyone.
From February 2009, Tamworth Borough Council will be taking over
responsibility for parking enforcement across the district.
Parking enforcement has previously been managed by the police. The
aim of transferring it to local councils is to free up valuable
police resources to tackle other priority areas. Tamworth’s Clear
Streets operation will be self funding. The money collected, once
costs have been covered, will be spent directly on improving
highway safety and transport services in our area.
Here are some quick parking reminders:
DO NOT stop or park:
- Near a school entrance
- Anywhere you would prevent access for
Emergency Services
- Opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a
junction, except in an authorised parking space
- On a bend

to a short video that explains more about the Clear Streets
initiative.

Scheme can be obtained Staffordshire County Councils “Clear
