POLITE NOTICE

All the on-street parking in Southwell is managed and enforced by Newark and Sherwood District Council on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council.

ENFORCEMENT

Parking in Church Street, King Street, and the Bramley car parks is managed by Southwell Town Council but is enforced in these car parks by Newark and Sherwood District Council.

Should you wish to challenge any enforcement notice issued, contact the number given on the enforcement notice. Enforcement Appeals are carried out by Newark and Sherwood District Council on behalf of Southwell Town Council.
