Our team of Civil Enforcement Officers – previously known as parking attendants – is on patrol across Thurrock.

They enforce regulations for:

on-street parking
pay-and-display car parks

Civil Enforcement Officers on the streets do not deal with:

parking appeals
issuing permits
abandoned or untaxed vehicles
vehicles parked on the footway unless there are yellow lines in place
vehicles parked on grass verges unless there are yellow lines in place
vehicles causing an obstruction unless there are yellow lines in place
