The Parking Partnership is a Council-run organisation which
brings together all street-based parking services in Essex.
The aim is to administer the parking rules to a fair,
proportionate and consistent standard in order to provide a service
in a reasonable and responsible way.
The service is
a partnership between Essex County Council and 12 Borough / City /
District Councils and is run in two areas:
·
the North Essex Parking Partnership (led by Colchester Borough
Council)
·
the South Essex Parking Partnership (led by Chelmsford City
Council)
Each
Partnership is responsible for:
·
its area's on-street Civil Enforcement Officers ("traffic
wardens");
·
the enforcement process, together with challenges to, and payments
of, parking penalties ("parking fines");
·
the administration of the parking
restrictions ("yellow lines") and the management and maintenance of
permit schemes.
The South Essex Parking Partnership deals with
all correspondence and payments for Basildon, Brentwood, Castle
Point, Chelmsford, Maldon and Rochford.
