PATROL annual accounts

The council is a member of the Parking and Traffic Regulations Outside London (PATROL) Adjudication Joint Committee.  The Joint Committee publishes an Annual Statement of Accounts which is subject to External Audit and for details about arrangements for 2010/11 please visit the PATROL website.

CCTV

The car parks are patrolled to prevent access ways being obstructed. There is closed circuit television (CCTV) coverage and high quality lighting to provide a safe environment. In the multi-storey car parks, the parking service also makes sure that the ticket machines are filled and provide a 24-hour call-out facility in case the barriers fail to operate properly. If you notice a light out in a car park, please phone Customer First who will pass the fault on to the relevant person.

If you wish to see the CCTV footage and your request relates to an incident involving theft or damage, please contact the police.
