Car park fines

If you do not follow the rules of the car park you may be fined with a fixed penalty notice. The car park rules are displayed on notice boards within all the controlled car parks. The notices are issued by car park attendants who patrol the car parks between 8.00.a.m. and 6.00 p.m. Monday to Saturday.

If you receive a fixed penalty notice fine it must be paid within 30 days of the date of issue. If you pay within 14 days of the date of issue the fine is reduced.

On street parking fines

If you park in a manner not in accordance with the traffic regulations you may receive a fixed penalty notice. If you receive a fixed penalty notice fine it must be paid within 30 days of the date of issue. If you pay within 7 days of the date of issue the fine is reduced.

Appeals and payment

Appeals and payments are now handled by Leicestershire County Council. If you think that the fixed penalty notice was issued unfairly or in error you may contact the Notice Processing Centre:
