On and off street parking
Off-street car parks are generally managed by the relevant district or city council and you should contact them directly if you have any questions.
In Cambridge City, civil enforcement officers can also issue penalty charge notices. You can report anyone parking illegally in the city at parkingcontrol@cambridgeshire.gov.uk.

There are sometimes parking problems that civil parking enforcement cannot enforce. These are more serious offences where penalty points can be given to drivers, such as obstruction where there are no yellow lines, parking on zig zags by schools, or in bus lanes and cycle lanes. These offences can only be enforced by the police.
If you want to discuss the creation of a new parking restriction on the highway please email policyandregulation@cambridgeshire.gov.uk.
