Parking in Dudley

The Council  is responsible for the day to day running of the Authority's car parks This includes the collection of revenue from the pay and display car parks, parking enforcement, maintenance and improvement of the car park stock.
 
In addition we are responsible for on-street parking enforcement. Through civil parking enforcement, the council aims to tackle the congestion caused by illegal and inconsiderate parking which causes problems in our towns, whether you’re driving, cycling, on public transport or on foot.
 

Road Safety & Travel Awareness

The aims of the Road Safety & Travel Awareness Team are to help reduce the number and severity of road traffic casualties and to raise awareness of the way people travel.
 
We encourage people to examine their current mode of travel and consider its effect on the environment and their health and wellbeing.
