Frome Town Council does not have authority to deal with illegal parking or enforcement. This is down to the Police and Somerset Council who work with an enforcement contractor.
There are a variety of parking restrictions, including:
- bus stops
- no loading areas
- on-street pay & display bays
- resident only bays
- school “keep clear” zones
- taxi bays
- time-limited waiting bays or loading bays
- yellow lines
- on-street pay & display bays
Visit the Somerset Council website to find out how to report a badly parked vehicle.
Where there is a restriction in place there are usually signs to indicate what this is – except (more often than not) double yellow lines – as this is a no parking zone.
If you are not sure about what restrictions are on your road then you can look them on The Highway Code website which lists many types of parking restrictions that apply in the UK.
Changes to parking restrictions on your road
Requests for changes to parking restrictions are no longer dealt with individually, but form part of wider town parking reviews. Somerset Council are developing a parking review programme and will hold individual requests on file to be considered as part of the wider town review.
Car Parks
