Our responsibilities

Some functions are carried out by the parking services team within Arun District Council and others by colleagues at West Sussex County Council. This is due to us being a two-tiered authority.

Arun District Council

• Administer on street permit schemes including resident permits and parking vouchers and administer season tickets for car parks
• Employs civil enforcement officers to patrol and enforce on-street and off-street parking
• Employ an administration team, including notice processing officers
• Process and respond to appeals against Penalty Charge Notices (PCN's) on and off-street
• Administer bay suspensions and dispensations
• Repair defects in the council's off-street car parks
• Deal with requests for parking enforcement
• Attend to, and maintain, pay and display ticket machines on and off-street
• Set rules for Arun District Council owned car parks and determine the parking charges
• Administering road closures for events under the TPCA (Town Police Clauses Act)

West Sussex County Council

• Implement and review on-street parking restrictions and resident parking schemes
• Maintain lines and signs on-street
• Co-ordinate street repair works
• Process requests for new Traffic Regulation Orders
• Process and issue skip licences
• Repair potholes on-street
• Administer the Blue Badge Scheme
• Issue Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (this is the legal process used to temporarily stop or limit vehicles or pedestrians on the highway)
• Determine the parking charges for on-street parking
• Administer road closures for larger public events

Parking controls are necessary for us to respond and adapt to the changing needs of the people who live in and visit the area. Arun District Council implement planned restrictions, charging tariffs and parking schemes in order for us to respond to the changing demands of the area.

Parking controls aim to:

• support different groups of motorists by providing accessible parking
• provide fair access to parking spaces
• support the local economy and encourage economic growth
• support our environmental strategy
• help to reduce congestion on-street and to minimise the environmental impact of vehicles in our town centres

The work carried out by the parking services team contributes to balancing the needs of all residents and visitors, including businesses in the area. Allowing residents to park close to their homes, delivery vehicles to park close to shops and Blue Badge holders to park close to amenities all promote economic growth within our district.

Arun District Council's Parking Strategy 2021-2026

In order to achieve these benefits, the council has a parking strategy with a framework in which we can develop detailed policies to achieve our vision for parking. Through the strategy, an action plan has been created to deliver the following benefits to our customers:

1. Investment in car parks through a planned Investment Strategy to ensure they are fit for the future.
2. Employment of enhanced technology and information to improve the customer experience.
3. Appropriate management and charging structures to support vitality and economic growth.

The strategy covers:

• providing safe parking
• investing to provide well-maintained car parks
• promoting a sustainable environment
• providing support for economic growth
• a positive parking experience
• seeking feedback

Read the Parking Strategy 2021-2026.

The parking services team at Arun District Council could not operate on its own to deliver the services we provide. There are several agencies we work alongside and a brief overview of each is provided below:

West Sussex County Council (WSCC)

The County Council is the highway authority for the Arun district and it's neighboring districts and boroughs. Arun District Council works under contract with the County Council to deliver the civil parking enforcement for our roads. This includes issuing Penalty Charge Notices (PCN) to vehicles parked in contravention on street across the district. 

Chipside

Chipside provide the technology for both the civil enforcement officers to carry out their duties and the back office system which manages the appeals and the recovery of Penalty Charge Notices.

MiPermit

MiPermit manage the online element of the district council's off-street parking. It is the digital platform for virtual permit holders to purchase and manage their permits. MiPermit also offer a pay by phone service which is available in all of Arun District Council's car parks. 

Connected Kerb

Connected Kerb have installed thousands of electric vehicle chargers where drivers need them most. Arun District Council, in partnership with Connected Kerb, will continue to work to deliver electric vehicle charge points (EVCP's) in our pay and display car parks across the district as well as on- street on behalf of WSCC. 

NSL

NSL, part of Marston Holdings, are contracted by Arun District Council to carry out parking enforcement throughout the district. They patrol the streets and car parks and issue PCN's to motorists who are parked in contravention of the restrictions.  

HM Courts & Tribunal Service

The Traffic Enforcement Centre at Northampton County Court forms part of HM Courts and Tribunal Service. They act as a bulk processing centre for all unpaid Penalty Charge Notices, Clean Air Zone Penalties, Dart Charge and Merseyflow. They also process any witness statements submitted by the debtor against a court order. 

Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)

Arun District Council work with the DVLA to obtain driver details to ensure that any paperwork relating to the issue of a PCN is sent to the registered keeper at the correct address. Applications made to the DVLA for information are only done when necessary to progress the enforcement of a PCN. 

RingGo

RingGo, along with MiPermit, manages the pay by phone/app/online element of the district council's off-street parking. 

Jacobs

Jacobs are one of the Arun District Council appointed enforcement agencies and assist in recovering unpaid Penalty Charge Notices.

Marston Recovery

Marston are one of the Arun District Council appointed enforcement agencies and assist in recovering unpaid Penalty Charge Notices

British Parking Association (BPA)

The British Parking Association works with it's members and other entities to improve standards and professionalism within the sector. The Safer Parking Scheme, managed by the BPA, is a national standard for UK car parks that have low crime and measures in place to ensure the safety of people and vehicles. Each car park undergoes a rigorous assessment by specially trained police assessors and a Park Mark is awarded to each car park that achieves the challenging standards. Arun District Council is a member of the BPA and is proud to have achieved the Park Mark Safer Parking accreditation in all of our car parks.  

Operation Crackdown

Operation Crackdown is a joint initiative between The Sussex Safer Roads Partnership and the Sussex Police Authority to provide the public the opportunity to report anti-social driving and parking. Arun District Council works with Operation Crackdown in terms of reporting abandoned vehicles. 

Flowbird

Flowbird is the council's operator for the pay and display machines both on and off street. They are responsible for the communications between the customer, the machine and the council.

We aim to set prices at a level that encourages motorists to come to our beautiful district, whilst enabling Arun District Council to continue to develop and provide excellent parking and associated facilities for all. We know that car parking prices are dictated by what a place has to offer - it's not the prices that dictate the success of a place. We will continue to review our charging structure to consider the changing needs of residents, visitors, and businesses.

By charging for parking within our car parks, we are able to:

• maintain our car parks to a high standard
• carry out necessary repair works as and when required
• develop and introduce new information technology to improve the customer experience
• introduce new electric vehicle charging points (EVCP's)

The cost of parking also needs to cover the costs of managing and operating parking spaces and permits across the district, alongside other parking schemes currently in operation.

The cost of managing parking includes, but is not limited to:

• maintaining lines, signs and posts
• parking enforcement
• issuing permits to residents and visitors
• considering appeals against PCN's that have been issued.
• back-office support
• road closure and parking suspension requests
• maintaining, replacing and upgrading technology (such as ticket machines)

The statutory guidance states that councils should not set targets based on revenue, the number of Penalty Charge Notices issues or the number of vehicles removed.

The use of any Penalty Charge Notice surplus, that results from parking, is strictly governed and tightly controlled. Any income generated through fees and charges must be used for parking services, car park repairs, restrictions, and enforcement.

The income from Arun District Council's Littlehampton, Arundel, and Bognor Regis car parks is shown here.

Arun District Council, in partnership with Middleton-On-Sea and Felpham Parish Councils, also operate three free car parks. These car parks are Grassmere (Grassmere Close, Felpham, PO22 7NU), Links Avenue (Links Avenue, Felpham, PO22 1DU) and Shrubbs Field (Shrubbs Drive, Middleton-on-Sea, PO22 7SW). There is free parking available at these locations 7 days a week; however, vehicles cannot park for longer than 24 hours in one period.

Penalty Charge Notices (PCN's) are issued in the Arun district when a civil enforcement officer witnesses a parking contravention taking place. The penalty issued will either be for a higher or lower charge, depending on the contravention itself. Penalty charges are laid down in the Secretary of State's regulations and councils must strictly adhere to the charges set out.

Higher charges are applied generally on the basis that the contravention prevented the correct user from accessing a much-needed bay (such as a bus being unable to access a bus stop or a Blue Badge holder being unable to access a disabled bay), or the parking affected health and safety. The lower charges tend to reflect a less severe type of contravention, for example, not being parked within the markings of a bay or space or parking for longer than permitted.

A full list of contravention codes can be found in Appendix B.

An overview of the number of higher and lower PCN's issued both on and off street in 2024-2025 are shown below:

On-street

Higher: 7681

Lower: 3130

Off-street

Higher: 212

Lower: 6021

PCNs issued by street

Arun District Council's priority in terms of enforcement will always be the main thoroughfare of Littlehampton, Arundel and Bognor Regis. Bognor Regis show higher issue rates as they are within a Controlled Parking Zone and there is a greater focus on this area as part of the council's contract to manage the zone.

Road and the number of PCNs issued

• High Street, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 449
• London Road, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 380
• Station Road, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 366
• Sudley Road, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 354
• Belmont Street, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 316
• Tarrant Street, Arundel - 299
• South Terrace, Littlehampton - 299
• Beach Road, Littlehampton - 273
• Crescent Road, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 272
• Waterloo Square, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 259
• The Esplanade, Bognor Regis (Inside the CPZ) - 242
• High Street, Arundel - 226

The table below indicates the most PCN's issued according to contravention on-street over the 2024/2025 period:

Charge Level	Contravention Code	Contravention Description	Total Issued
Higher	01	Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours	3,613
Lower	30	Parked for longer than permitted	1,865
Lower	12	Parked in a residents' or shared use parking place or zone without a valid virtual permit or clearly displaying a valid physical permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place where required, or without payment of the parking charge.	1,223
Higher	06	Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay and display ticket or voucher	1,049
Higher	40	Parked in a designated disabled person's parking place without displaying a valid disabled person's badge in the prescribed manner	637

The main type of PCN issued on-street during the 24/25 period was for vehicles parking on a single or double yellow line. This highlights Arun District Council's emphasis on enforcement in relation to health and safety.

PCNs issue by car park

Car park and number of PCNs issued

• St Martins, Littlehampton - 1,418
• Hothamton, Bognor Regis - 790
• Mewsbrook, Littlehampton  - 677
• Crown Yard, Arundel  - 391
• West Green, Littlehampton - 318
• Lyon Street, Bognor Regis - 300
• Gloucester Road, Bognor Regis - 290
• Regis Centre, Bognor Regis - 263
• Fitzalan Pool, Arundel  - 252
• London Road, Bognor Regis  - 199

The main reason vehicles incurred a PCN in Arun District Council car parks during the 24/25 period was that there was no valid pay and display ticket purchased or displayed.

Charge Level	Contravention Code	Contravention Description	Total Issued
Lower	83	Parked in a car park without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket or voucher or parking clock	5,485
Lower	82	Parked after the expiry of paid for time	344
Lower	86	Not parked correctly within the markings of a bay or space	168
Higher	91	Parked in a car park or area not designated for that class of vehicle	115
Higher	40	Parked in a designated disabled person's parking place without displaying a valid disabled person's badge in the prescribed manner	74

A full list of observation times and contravention codes can be found in Appendix B.

Once a Penalty Charge Notice is issued to a motorist, they will have 28 days to pay the outstanding amount. If the fine is paid within 14 days the amount due will be reduced by 50%. At this stage, the PCN can be challenged by the motorist in the form of an Informal Challenge.

If the Penalty Charge Notice remains outstanding, Arun District Council will apply to the DVLA to obtain the registered keeper details of the vehicle.

A Notice To Owner will be sent to the registered keeper by post if the PCN remains outstanding after 28 days from the date of issue. The full penalty charge amount will be due and the motorist will have a further 28 days to pay. At this time, the registered keeper may make a Formal Representation.

If an informal challenge and/ or a formal representation has been rejected by Arun District Council, the motorist may appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal (TPT) to have the appeal heard by an independent adjudicator. Please note, a registered keeper cannot appeal to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal until the formal representations have been rejected by the council.

If there is no payment received or appeal made within 28 days of the Notice to Owner being sent to the registered keeper, the council will issue a Charge Certificate. The registered keeper will have a further 14 days to pay the original fine, and the amount due will increase by 50%.

Recovery of PCN issued by stage

On-street

Issued: 10,811

Paid at discount stage: 6237

Full penalty paid: 885

Off-street

Issued: 6233

Paid at discount stage: 4085

Full penalty paid: 337

Challenges, appeals and representations are all forms of appeals, but they all occur at different stages of the appeals process. The above names are used in the statutory guidance that the Secretary of States uses to differentiate between them.

Challenges

A challenge refers to any appeal made after the PCN has been issued, but before the Notice to Owner is issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle.

Representations

Representations refer to an appeal made after the Notice to Owner has been issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle. After the 28 days allowed once the Notice to Owner has been served, the council does not legally have to respond to any representations made. The council can choose to respond after this time if it thinks it is appropriate to do so.

Appeals

Appeals can only happen if a council has rejected a formal representation. If a formal representation is rejected, details will be provided of how to apply to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal if the appellant wishes to continue the appeal against the PCN.

Cancellation Overview

There can be numerous reasons a PCN may be cancelled after being issued. It is important to remember that a Penalty Charge Notice is only issued by a civil enforcement officer (CEO) in the belief that a contravention has taken place. The reasons for cancellation, if the PCN was issued in Arun District Council car parks, are set out below:

Cancellation reason (off-street) and total

• Administrative Error - 6
• ADC permit - 16
• CEO Error - 39
• Invalid Lines/ Signs - 0
• Lack of supporting evidence to enforce the PCN - 1
• Pay and Display Machine Fault - 17
• Special Circumstances - 22
• Valid Pay and Display Ticket Purchased - 336
• Paid for Parking via RingGo/ MiPermit - 124
• RingGo/ MiPermit - wrong location or vehicle registration used - 186
• Valid Permit Produced - 50
• Valid Parking Disc - 166
• Valid Blue Badge Provided - 40
• Mitigating Circumstances - 9
• Breakdown - 2
• PCN's Spoiled and not served - 184

The reasons for cancellation, if the PCN was issued on the street are set out below. Arun District Council enforce parking restrictions on-street on behalf of West Sussex County Council.

Cancellation reason (on-street) and total

• Administrative Error -10
• CEO Error - 54
• Invalid Lines/ Signs - 35
• Unclear Suspension Signs - 3
• Lack of supporting evidence to enforce the PCN - 5
• Pay and Display Machine Fault - 1
• Special Circumstances - 10
• Valid Pay and Display Ticket Purchased - 35
• Valid Permit Produced - 36
• Valid Resident's Permit Produced - 6

• Mitigating Circumstances - 33
• Loading/ Unloading - 12
• Valid Dispensation Notice - 3
• Vehicle Breakdown - 23
• Police Vehicles - 4
• PCN Spoiled and not served - 708

The Traffic Penalty Tribunal (TPT) is an independent body that reviews appeals against PCNs that the council has reviewed and rejected. They have the final decision on whether a PCN should be cancelled or upheld.

The appeals process is free to appellants, and they may choose whether to have a hearing or receive a written decision from the TPT.

TPT Appeals and Outcomes 2024/2025

TPT Appeals and Outcomes 2024/2025

Allowed	0	0	0	0	1	0	1	0	0	1	0	0

 

At this point, all appeal routes have been exhausted, and the council will need to recover the outstanding balance. It is at this time that Arun District Council will apply to the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC), which is part of the Northampton County Court Bulk Centre.

The Traffic Enforcement Centre was established to allow local authorities to register penalty charge notices (including Dart Charges, TfL congestion charges/Ultra Low Emissions, Merseyflow) that remain unpaid 14 days after the issue of a Charge Certificate. The Traffic Enforcement Centre also authorise the issue of Warrants of Control and processes Out of Time Witness Statements/Statutory Declarations.

If, after 14 days of a Charge Certificate being served, the penalty charge is still not paid, the enforcement authority may register it as a debt at the Traffic Enforcement Centre. This process will start with the Traffic Enforcement Centre authorising the relevant authority to issue an Order for Recovery of unpaid Penalty Charge. This will be served upon the motorist together with a Witness Statement (or Statutory Declaration).

Depending on the type of contravention, the Order for Recovery will be served with either a Witness Statement or Statutory Declaration. The Witness Statement cannot be used to make a representation or a complaint. It is an application to the Traffic Enforcement Centre (TEC) to ask them to revoke the registration of the penalty charge (the Order for Recovery) on one of the grounds listed on the Order for Recovery. It does not cancel the penalty charge. There are a few limited grounds for the debtor to file a witness statement to the courts:

• the debtor did not receive the PCN/ Notice to Owner
• the debtor made a representation to the council but did not receive a response
• the debtor appealed to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, but did not receive a response
• the PCN has been paid in full

The court charges Arun District Council £10 per PCN to be registered. The charge is added to the outstanding debt owed by the defendant. It is important to note that debts registered by the Traffic Enforcement Centre are not County Court Judgements, and the debtor's credit score is not affected.

Warrants of Control

If, after a period of 21 days, a completed Witness Statement (or Statutory Declaration) has not been received at the Traffic Enforcement Centre or the PCN remains unpaid, the local authority may request permission from the Traffic Enforcement Centre for a warrant of control to be issued. The warrant will then be passed to an enforcement agency to enforce.

The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013 replaced the term “bailiff” with “enforcement agent”.

The Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 made the charging process a lot simpler and has only three stages. The fees charged are set out under these regulations and must be strictly adhered to.

The number of debts and warrants registered with the Traffic Enforcement Centre for the 2023/2024 period is below. If a debt is registered and remains uncontested and unpaid, Arun District Council will apply to have a warrant of control issued for the outstanding balance.

On-street

Debt: 2456

Warrant: 2109

Off-street

Debt: 508

Warrant: 394

Compliance stage

At this stage, the warrant is with an enforcement agency but has not yet been passed to an enforcement agent. The agency will attempt to contact the debtor at this stage via all possible means of communication to attempt to get the debt settled. A letter is sent to the debtor advising that they have been served with a warrant and the debt is now being managed by the enforcement agency. Notice of enforcement must be given to the debtor not less than 7 clear days before the enforcement agent attends the debtors property and potentially takes control of the debtor's goods.

An important element of the compliance stage is trying to encourage the debtor to engage with the enforcement agency. It is recognised that some individuals may be suffering from financial difficulties, and both of the council's enforcement agencies work to signpost individuals to agencies for help. They also have committed welfare teams to help a debtor in financial difficulties or in a vulnerable situation.

A fixed fee of £75 will be added to the debt at this stage.

Enforcement stage

If the debt is not paid during the compliance stage, the warrant is passed to an enforcement agent who is certified by the court to enforce the debt. The enforcement agent will visit the property in an attempt to meet with the debtor. Regardless of whether assets are seized during this visit, the enforcement fee remains the same.

A fixed fee of £235 will be added to the debt at this stage.

Sale or disposal stage

On rare occasions, the enforcement agent will make arrangements and have any seized assets removed. The debtor may pay the full balance outstanding to have their assets returned, or the assets may be sold at auction to cover the debt. Any surplus monies will be returned to the debtor. Any removed items are stored for 7 days before being sold at auction.

A fixed fee of £110 will be added to the debt at this stage, along with any storage and auctioneers' costs.

Enforcement stage	Fixed fees
Compliance	Original PCN charge + £9 registration charge + £75 compliance stage fee.
Enforcement	Original PCN charge + £9 registration charge + £75 compliance fee + £235 enforcement stage fee.
Sale or disposal	Original PCN charge + £9 registration charge + £75 compliance fee + £235 enforcement fee + Sale or Disposal fee of £100 + any other reasonable charges (storage or auctioneers' fees).

A Warrant of Control lasts 366 days from the date of issue, which can occasionally be extended if the debtor enters into an arrangement.

Over the last year, the parking services team have been working hard to improve the parking experience for all our customers.

Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Points

Arun is part of a partnership which is delivering the West Sussex Chargepoint Network on and off-street chargepoints. In partnership with ConnectedKerb, brand new Electric Vehicle Charging Points (EVCP) have been installed in Hothamton car park, Bognor Regis and Manor House car park, Littlehampton. Throughout 2024/2025, further EVCPs are being installed in our River Road, Surrey Street and Anchor Springs car parks in Littlehampton and in Crown Yard car park in Arundel.

West Sussex County Council have also been placing EVCPs on-street throughout the district.

2-hour free parking scheme

During 2024/2025, we launched an updated version of the well-established 2-hour free parking discs in Littlehampton and Bognor Regis. With the newly designed £6 parking discs, you no longer need separate discs for the two towns as we have introduced a single town centre disc. This gives customers the freedom to park in both towns. The virtual and physical discs can be used once per day in any one of the six participating car parks, for a single continuous 2-hour free parking stay. The virtual disc costs £4 and the cardboard disc costs £6, and both discs are valid for the whole of 2025. Further details on the schemes and where to purchase a disc can be found on our website.

Parking review

During 2024/2025, the parking services department commissioned a parking review to review all aspects of our service, including the parking tariffs and permits offered within our car parks. Following the review, a number of recommendations were submitted to the Environment Committee in November 2024 for consideration. Further information on the review, recommendations and committee outcome can be found on our website.

• Civil Enforcement Officers work on commission - CEO's do not get commission. Regardless of how many Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) they issue, they are paid a salary and do not work under any bonus scheme.
• Civil Enforcement Officers have targets or the number of PCNs issued - Civil Enforcement Officers do not have targets and can only issue tickets if they observe a parking contravention. CEO's must take detailed notes regarding the contravention, and these can assist with either upholding or cancelling the PCN issued if it is challenged by the customer.
• Civil Enforcement Officers target vehicles - Arun District Council currently employ 12 CEO's through NSL, who patrol the entire district. Our officers are allocated different routes to patrol and do not patrol with the intention of pursuing specific motorists.
• You can park anywhere on a Bank Holiday - Unless the Traffic Regulation Order and signs indicate otherwise, parking restrictions will apply on Bank Holidays.
• CEO's can issue a PCN if a vehicle is parked causing an obstruction - This would be the responsibility of the police, and customers should report incidents such as these via 101 or through Operation Crackdown. If the vehicle is parked dangerously, risking lives, customers should call 999. Civil Enforcement Officers do not have the power to issue PCNs to vehicles parked in this manner.
• My local MP or councillor can cancel a PCN or help me appeal - The Traffic Management Act 2004 sets out the process for civil parking enforcement. This legislation prescribes the process that must be followed and includes 3 stages of appeal. The Secretary of State considers that discretion should be exercised by the Notice Processing Staff, as this provides greater consistency in the enforcement of traffic regulations. This also ensures that only fully trained staff make decisions on the facts presented.
• A CEO can take back a PCN once it has been issued - PCNs cannot be withdrawn by CEO's once they have been issued. If the customer wishes to dispute the issue of the PCN, then they must make a challenge to Arun District Council. Removing the PCN once it has been issued would leave our CEO's vulnerable to allegations of favouritism, bribery, or inconsistency.
• The Civil Enforcement Officer should have given a warning - There is no requirement for CEO's to issue Warning Notices to vehicles parked in contravention of the parking restrictions. If the motorist wishes to dispute the issue of the PCN, then they must make a challenge to Arun District Council, where it will be reviewed by our Appeals Officers.
• PCNs are only issued to make the council money - Civil Parking Enforcement is a regulatory measure, and a Penalty Charge Notice is only issued if a vehicle is observed to be in contravention of parking restrictions. Any surplus income generated through Civil Parking Enforcement is ring-fenced to parking services-related matters and cannot be spent elsewhere.  
• Any vehicle parked on the pavement should receive a PCN - All enforcement activity throughout the district is governed by West Sussex County Council's Parking Policy. Arun District Council and our CEO's must adhere to this policy when issuing Penalty Charge Notices to vehicles. At this time, Arun District Council are unable to take any enforcement action against vehicles parked either partly or wholly on the pavement. If the vehicle is causing an obstruction, this should be reported to the police, and customers should report incidents such as these via 101 or through Operation Crackdown. If the vehicle is parked dangerously, risking lives, customers should call 999.
• PCNs can be issued to vehicles that are double-parked - All enforcement activity governed by West Sussex County Council's Parking Policy, which Arun District Council and our CEO's must adhere to. At this time, Arun District Council are unable to take any enforcement action against vehicles which are double-parked, unless the vehicle is double-parked on a single or double yellow line, then the relevant restrictions would apply. Single and double yellow line restrictions apply from the middle of the road to the back of the Highway boundary (which can include pavements and grass verges). If the vehicle is causing an obstruction, this should be reported to the police and customers should report incidents such as these via 101 or through Operation Crackdown. If the vehicle is parked dangerously, risking lives, customers should call 999.
• Arun District Council are able to take enforcement action in all car parks  - Arun District Council are only able to undertake enforcement action in car parks owned or operated by Arun District Council. We are unable to assist with parking enforcement in privately owned car parks or those owned by West Sussex County Council, as these do not fall under ADC's jurisdiction.

The following questions and answers may be useful when considering whether to challenge or make a formal representation to the council against a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

Q. The details on the PCN are incorrect. Will the PCN be cancelled?

If the vehicle registration number, contravention code, or location of the vehicle is incorrectly recorded on the PCN, the council will cancel it.
All other details that the CEO records (including photographs and the colour of the vehicle) are supportive and would not justify the PCN being cancelled if recorded incorrectly.

Q. Will the PCN be cancelled if I ran out of petrol?

It is the responsibility of the motorist to ensure that the vehicle has sufficient petrol for a journey. As running out of petrol could have been avoided, the PCN may not be cancelled.

Q. I was loading or unloading. Will the PCN be cancelled?

The council may consider cancelling the PCN depending on the restriction you were parked on, what was being loaded or unloaded, and whether evidence can be provided.
Under certain contravention codes, the CEO must carry out an observation period before issuing a PCN to determine whether an exempt activity is being carried out.
For example, for a vehicle parked on a yellow line restriction, a CEO will observe for at least 5 minutes before issuing a PCN.

Q. Will the PCN be cancelled if my car broke down?

The council may consider cancelling the PCN if the vehicle was parked on-street and evidence can be provided that the vehicle broke down.
If you are parked within a car park, the PCN may not be cancelled, as payment can still be made even if you cannot access your vehicle.
In these cases, the council expects the vehicle owner to contact them to advise that the vehicle has broken down.

Q. I didn't realise my Blue Badge had expired. Will the PCN be cancelled?

The PCN may not be cancelled if the Blue Badge has expired.
For a Blue Badge to be considered a valid exemption, it must be displayed clearly and be in date. Blue Badges can be applied for or renewed via the West Sussex County Council website.

Q. I have a valid Blue Badge but didn't display it. Will the PCN be cancelled?

To be considered a valid exemption, a Blue Badge must be clearly displayed continuously on the dashboard of the vehicle. The PCN may not be cancelled if this is not the case.

Q. Will the PCN be cancelled as I was parked in a loading bay and displaying my Blue Badge?

The PCN may not be cancelled, as Blue Badges are not valid for use in loading bay restrictions.
The conditions relating to the use of Blue Badges are described in “The Blue Badge Scheme: Rights and Responsibilities in England” handbook, supplied with every Blue Badge.

Q. I was delayed returning to my vehicle. Will the PCN be cancelled?

It is the motorist's responsibility to allow for any unforeseen delays. Additional parking can be purchased via remote services such as MiPermit if you are delayed and cannot return before your paid time expires.
A PCN may not be cancelled unless evidence demonstrates that the delay was unexpected and unavoidable, such as a medical emergency.

Q. I became ill/sick. Will the PCN be cancelled?

The council may consider cancelling the PCN if evidence is provided to support the circumstances, as some situations are genuinely unforeseen.

Q. I didn't have any change to pay for parking. Will the PCN be cancelled?

It is the motorist's responsibility to ensure they have adequate means to pay for parking upon arrival.
All Arun District Council pay and display machines accept cash and card payments, and payment can also be made by phone.
If payment cannot be made, the motorist should find alternative parking. A PCN issued in these circumstances may not be cancelled.

Q. I forgot to display my Pay and Display ticket. Will the PCN be cancelled?

The ticket is only valid if it is clearly displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle.
Before leaving the parked vehicle, motorists must ensure the ticket is clearly visible.
A PCN may not be cancelled in these circumstances.

Q. I had a Pay and Display ticket, but it fell off the dashboard or turned over when I left the car. Will the PCN be cancelled?

When CEOs are patrolling, they will check vehicles thoroughly. If they can see a ticket and the serial number is visible, they will record this in their notes.
The council may consider cancelling a PCN on the first occasion if the ticket is subsequently supplied and was valid at the time.
Any future PCNs issued for the same reason may not be cancelled.

Q. The Pay and Display machine was broken, out of order, or wouldn't accept my change. Will the PCN be cancelled?

The council accepts that faults can occur with Pay and Display machines. However, as alternative machines or remote payment options (e.g. RingGo) are available, the council may not cancel the PCN.
If you discover a fault, please report it so the issue can be rectified.

Q. Will the PCN be cancelled if I lost my car keys?

In council car parks, remote services such as MiPermit can be used to pay for parking until the vehicle can be moved.
In these cases, the council may not cancel the PCN.
If you are parked on-street and can provide evidence that you lost your keys or purchased replacements, the council may consider cancelling the PCN.

Q. I didn't know I had to display a Pay and Display ticket. Will the PCN be cancelled?

To ensure parking conditions are clear, signs in both on-street and off-street locations set out the conditions of use.
It is the motorist's responsibility to read and follow all signs, lines, and road markings.
As sufficient information is displayed to alert motorists to the hours and charges, the PCN may not be cancelled.
If any issues are discovered with signs or markings, please report them to the council.

Q. I have a valid season ticket/permit, but it didn't have the correct vehicle registration number assigned to it. Will the PCN be cancelled?

Season tickets and permits are vehicle-specific, and the correct registration number must be logged against them.
Logging the wrong registration or forgetting to change it would not usually justify cancelling the PCN.
Vehicle registration details can be updated online through MiPermit or by emailing car.parks@arun.gov.uk (for paper permits).

Q. I forgot to display or renew my season ticket or permit. Will the PCN be cancelled?

Customers receive either an email (for virtual permits) or a letter (for paper permits) reminding them to renew.
It remains the customer's responsibility to ensure their permit is valid when parking.
If it is not, the council may not cancel the PCN issued.

Q. I didn't receive my renewal reminder. Will the PCN be cancelled?

While Arun District Council endeavours to remind customers to renew their season tickets or permits, ensuring validity remains the customer's responsibility.
In these circumstances, the council may not cancel the PCN.

Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO)

This is the name given to officers who patrol the streets and enforce vehicles parked in contravention of the restrictions. They must be employed by the council or through a council contractor. Arun District Council use NSL for our parking enforcement. They are paid a set wage and do not work under any bonus scheme.

Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE)

Parking used to be enforced by the police, where vehicles would be issued with Fixed Penalty Charge Notices. When the Road Traffic Act, now known as the Traffic Management Act 2004, was introduced, councils could apply to central government to take over the enforcement of most on-street parking controls from the police. West Sussex County Council has adopted this "decriminalisation" of parking enforcement as Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE). Under CPE parking enforcement has transferred from criminal law (Sussex Police) to civil law (local authority).

Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ)

A CPZ is an area where parking is restricted during specific times. They are put in place to control every area of road space within the zone. Signs are erected at every entry point to the controlled parking zone, so all motorists are made aware.

On-street

Anything relating to the West Sussex County Council's highways (roads and pavements).

Off-street

Anything relating to Arun District Council's car parks.

Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)

A legal document that is issued to a vehicle which is believed to have contravened the Traffic Regulation Order. Only a civil enforcement officer may issue them, and they are either handed to the driver or attached to the vehicle.

Traffic Regulation Order (TRO)

This is the statutory legal document used to support the restrictions which have been placed on the highway or in the car parks. West Sussex used map-based TROs, which means every restriction in Arun appears on a map with a key to indicate what the restriction is.
