Hello Resident

 

South Wales Police are working to tackle your parking concerns in Knights Road, Margam.

Inconsiderate or illegal parking can put pedestrians and other road users in danger. It can also create an obstruction for emergency vehicles.

While some enforcement activity is carried out jointly with partners (relevant local authority employ parking enforcement officers rather than the police), often problems can be alleviated through awareness and education, or other practical measures.

 

We have been: 

  • Talking to motorists and advising them of the law
  • Liaising with council parking enforcement officers over local concerns
  • Issuing Penalty Charge Notices (parking fines) to persistent offenders
  • Working with partners to find alternative off-road parking opportunities, particularly near to schools.

    Do you need to speak to the police but don’t require an emergency response?

    You can make an online report via our website https://www.south-wales.police.uk, send us a private message via Live Chat, or call 101. In an emergency always dial 999.
