Our aim is to provide a quality parking service in Middlesbrough that compliments the Councils objectives whilst satisfying the requirements of the Traffic Management Act 2004 to ensure the expeditious movement of traffic.

We operate, maintain and develop parking facilities such as pay and display car parks, on street pay and display areas, business parking areas, disabled parking bays and residents parking schemes.

We also enforce parking restrictions such as yellow line waiting restrictions, loading restrictions and restrictions associated with car parks, on street parking places, disabled parking bays, bus stops, and residents parking schemes.

The Council’s team of Civil Enforcement Officers (Parking) issue Penalty Charge Notices to motorists who break the rules. The Council is enforcing these restrictions in order to:

• Improve road safety
• Reduce congestion
• Support the local economy
• Improve access to public transport
• Reduce commuter parking in residential areas
• Meet the needs of people with disabilities

The money received from Penalty Charge Notices is used to pay for the provision of the parking service and any surplus is reinvested into transport related schemes in Middlesbrough. For further information on Civil Parking Enforcement and Penalty Charge Notices please refer to the ‘Parking Tickets’ section located to the right in 'links on this site'.
