Q: Are there any restrictions on people living in campervans parked on public roads?
Lancashire Parking Services can issue a penalty charge notice to a vehicle which is parked across a dropped kerb, eg access to a driveway. This power came into effect on 1 October 2011. Of course, residents are allowed to park across their own driveways if they wish and therefore enforcement action will only take place if a resident reports an incident. Lancashire Parking Services can be contacted on 0800 195 2774. Alternatively, the matter can be reported using their online reporting form [external link].
However, Lancashire Parking Services has no powers to issue a ticket to a vehicle which has been parked with one or more wheels on the pavement where there is no dropped kerb and no other parking restriction. In such cases, only the police can issue a warning or a fixed penalty notice for dangerous or obstructive parking.If you find that vehicles are parking on the pavement and obstructing access for passers-by, you should contact your Neighbourhood Policing Team [external link] to see if they can assist.
