Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE)

West Dunbartonshire Council has taken over the enforcement of parking rules from Police Scotland. This is called Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE).

Council Enforcement Officers will issue Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) to vehicles parked in restricted areas. These areas are clearly marked by yellow lines and signs. There are no changes to existing parking rules, but they will now be actively enforced. This change is designed to improve road safety and traffic flow throughout the area.

The purpose of this change is to improve road safety, help traffic move more easily, and support local businesses. Money from PCNs will be used to cover the costs of running the service and to invest in new road safety and traffic projects. Enforcement Officers do not have targets for the number of PCNs they must issue.
