Parking & car parks
Salford City Council is responsible for most aspects of parking in the city. This includes the maintenance of pay and display car parks and the enforcement of parking regulations under the provisions of the Traffic Management Act 2004, known as Civil Parking Enforcement.
Please refer to our Penalty Charges page for guidance on how to pay or appeal against a penalty charge notice. Pay online facility now available!
Operational enforcement of parking regulations is undertaken on behalf of the council by our contractor NCP Services Limited.
The council is responsible for enforcing all contraventions in respect of motorists parking on yellow lines, clearways, in disabled bays and outside schools on zig-zag markings. Vehicles causing an unnecessary obstruction or those parked dangerously are still a matter for the police to deal with but generally, most other parking matters are dealt with by the council.
Civil Enforcement Officers are empowered to issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) to vehicles or motorists when contraventions are seen either on the street or in any car parks that are subject to parking regulations. A Penalty Charge of £50 or £70, depending on the severity of the contravention, can be reduced by 50% if paid within fourteen days of the penalty notice being issued.
The registered keeper/owner of a vehicle or the hirer is normally responsible for paying the penalty, regardless of whether that person was the driver or not.
