Council cracking down on nuisance Slough parking
Slough Borough Council’s environmental protection team is cleaning up the town by taking action against nuisance parking offenders.
Community wardens will begin by covering the Britwell area over the next few weeks, looking for any perpetrators parking cars for sale and will issue fines of £100.
Nuisance parking is caused by placing cars for sale on the street, selling vehicles on the road to target businesses, and using the road as a mock workshop.
It is unfair for local Slough residents as they may not be able to use the road properly and it can take up valuable car parking spaces.
North environmental protection team leader for Slough Borough Council, John Waite, said: “The team is working hard to tackle a number of environmental issues.
“Nuisance parking is a problem in the borough, so hopefully these fines will act as a deterrent.
“Placing cars on the street in these circumstances is unsightly and unpleasant for local residents. It can also cause damage to the environment if oil is spilled or leaked.”
Commissioner for public protection, Cllr John Edwards, added: “We simply will not tolerate nuisance parking.
“There is no reason for residents to have to put up with it, so the fines should send out a clear message that it is not acceptable to leave cars on our streets in this manner.”
