PARKING Enforcement teams have been deployed at pre-lockdown levels since Tuesday, June 1, to help keep roads and streets safe and ensure that traffic is flowing.

In response to the recent Covid-19 lockdown, Parking Enforcement was scaled back in line with road usage from the end of January.

A small team of Traffic Attendants (TAs) were retained to be deployed to those locations where they could contribute most to road safety and traffic progression.

Penalty Charge Notices for all on-street parking and bus lane offences have now recommenced.

Minister for Infrastructure Nichola Mallon said: “With the relaxation of Covid restrictions, town and city centres, along with some other areas, have become much busier and it is necessary for the Parking Enforcement service to be fully recommenced.

“Enforcement is necessary as it assists with safe parking management, and I would want to remind people of the important role that TAs and others continue to play in this respect.

"I ask everyone to support and co-operate with them in their daily job, and in doing so you will make travelling and parking much easier for all road-users."
