Brighton and Hove City Council says they'll be clamping down on people parking illegally in some of the city's cycle lanes.
Penalty charges are being introduced from October for people who park in cycle lanes where there's restrictions on parking or loading.
New legislation came into force last June which means it can now use cameras as evidence to issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) by post to people who park in cycle lanes where there are currently restrictions on parking or loading. Currently, these will include:
- Church Street
- London Road
- Lewes Road
- Preston Road
- West Street
People who park in the lanes are given a short grace period to allow for pick-ups and drop offs only.
People will be sending warning letters from September to anyone caught on camera parking illegally in these locations.
From October, a PCN will be issued. The PCN charge is £70 or £35 if paid within the first 14 days.
