Report a contravention

How to report a parking contravention

You can report a contravention using the online form if a vehicle is parked in contravention of a traffic regulation order.

Parking Enforcement Officers will attend if resources are available to do so.

We can respond to a report if a vehicle is parked:

blocking a driveway – the report can only be made by the resident of the property
obstructing a dropped kerb/tactile crossing
on single yellow lines (when not permitted) without a valid disabled badge
on double yellow lines without a valid disabled badge
on single or double yellow lines with a disabled badge for longer than permitted
contravening any parking regulations
on a pavement with double yellow lines adjacent to the kerb

We are unable to respond if:

a vehicle is parked on private property
there is no parking restriction at the location (for example, no waiting restriction, no bay markings, no yellow lines)
a vehicle is parked in an advisory disabled bay (generally found in residential areas without a regulatory sign)
a vehicle is parked on a pavement without double yellow lines adjacent to the kerb
a vehicle is not parked contravening any parking regulations
the report relates to a lack of TAX or MOT – vehicles without Tax or MOT should be reported directly to the DVLA
the report relates to a perceived abandoned vehicle – abandoned vehicles should be reported directly to Island Roads

Please note:

if a valid report is received, Parking Enforcement Officers will attend if resources are available to do so
due to the high volume of reports received, it is not possible to notify individuals of the outcome of a report
the online form is to be used to report valid contraventions only
we are unable to respond if the form is used for other purposes
forms are not processed over the weekend or on a bank holiday. If you wish to report a contravention on a Saturday, Sunday or bank holiday, call 01983 821105
