From Monday 14th May 2012, Blackwood Officers will be clamping down on illegal parking in an operation targeting illegal parking in and around Blackwood High Street.

The operation has been put in place in response to the increasing congestion and complaints from retailers. Motorists are parking on double yellow lines and occupying loading bays in High Street, Blackwood whilst they leave their vehicles to visit local shops and banks.

Blackwood Neighbourhood Team will be taking a zero tolerance approach towards motorists illegally parked in Blackwood and tickets will be issued to vehicles not adhering to the correct parking regulations, which hold either a £30 fine or a £60 fine with 3 points depending on the offence.

Officers will be distributing leaflets to local shops and residents to educate drivers about any offences they may be committing, and warning them that they will be issuing Fixed Penalty Notices.

Blackwood Neighbourhood Policing Team Sergeant, Neil Jones, said: "Parking on double yellow lines is illegal and causes an obstruction and an unnecessary risk to other motorists and pedestrians.

"There is adequate car parking provision in the town centre which motorists should be using when leaving their vehicles. We want to remind motorists we are now taking a zero tolerance approach to this issue and over the next couple of weeks, we will be educating drivers about where it is illegal to park, and issuing Fixed Penalty Notices to motorists to reinforce the message."
