West Sussex County Council: On-Street Enforcement

We are responsible for controlling parking on the highway.  This currently covers the cost of most of the traffic wardens who act under police powers to enforce on-street parking regulations throughout the districts of Arun and Chichester as well as Crawley borough.

We have adopted a strategy in which district and borough council will be offered the opportunity to undertake on-street enforcement on behalf of us. Other traffic management functions that traffic wardens can carry out will not be transferred under Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE), therefore control in these areas could be reduced.

This section explains CPE, what the police's involvement is, and how to report abandoned vehicles.

• Civil Parking Enforcement: Park right - keeping parking in its place
• Civil Parking Enforcement: Traffic Regulation Orders
• Wheel clamps and removals
