Parking Enforcement

Havering Council uses Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) to manage the streets and parking places for which it is responsible in accordance with local needs and policies.

Under CPE the Council employs Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO's) - previously known as Parking Attendants - who can issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCN's) to vehicles contravening parking / waiting restrictions. 

Havering Council's Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO's) are fully trained professionals who offer a vital service to the community in order to keep traffic flowing, ensure turnover of cars in spaces and to maximise road safety. 

The Parking Enforcement Team is run entirely in-house and our Civil Enforcement Officers do not receive any commission based on the number of PCN's issued.

The Civil Enforcement Officers carry out regular patrols throughout the Borough 7 days per week including public / bank holidays, either by patrolling on foot or the use of CCTV vehicles or scooters.
