Enforcement over Christmas
Civil Enforcement Officers will patrol as usual over the Christmas period and enforcement will continue as normal. This means that if a Public/Bank Holiday falls on a day that the restriction is operative, the normal restrictions or conditions apply unless stated differently on the signs. We recommend that motorists check the signs and lines before parking and always ensure that a valid exemption is displayed or activated through MiPermit at the time of parking.
Christmas opening times
The council offices closes at 12.00pm, 24 December 2024 and will not reopen until 9:00am, 2 January 2025 so some of our services will be affected during this time.
Please take note of the following information which applies to the Christmas and New Year period.
