Parking Concerns


Parking

BILINGUAL MESSAGE / NEGES DWYIEITHOG 

Hello

 

South Wales Police are working to tackle parking concerns outside Tynyrheol Primary School. 

 

Inconsiderate or illegal parking can put pedestrians and other road users in danger. It can also create an obstruction for emergency vehicles.

 

While some enforcement activity is carried out jointly with partners (relevant local authority employ parking enforcement officers rather than the police), often problems can be alleviated through awareness and education, or other practical measures.

Do you need to speak to the police but don’t require an emergency response?

You can make an online report via our website https://www.south-wales.police.uk, send us a private message via Live Chat, or call 101. In an emergency always dial 999.
