Parking enforcement action has been introduced at two Nottinghamshire park and ride NET tram stops. Now motorists at Wilkinson Street Park and Ride and Toton Lane Park and Ride sites that park outside marked bays, misuse disabled spaces, park their car without buying a valid NET ticket, or have a valid pass for travel on the tram, could have their vehicle clamped.
This comes after the success of parking enforcement action at The Forest Park and Ride, where more than 200 motorists have been clamped for breaking the rules. NET said its approach has seen a significant reduction in the number of vehicles taking up more than one space, parking on pavements or in areas they are not authorised to do so.
Trevor Stocker, NET’s Head of Operations, explained: “The initiative has been well received by the vast majority of park and ride users, who recognise that the behaviour of a small minority makes life more difficult for everyone else, particularly those with restricted mobility.
