Parking Control Management have taken over operation of the vehicle enforcement service from UKPC.
They have confirmed a 10 minute grace period will apply from when the operative first notices a vehicle parking without a permit.
If a resident parks in another residents’ allocated bay you can contact PCM who will send an operative down to issue a ticket to the vehicle. With regards to the visitor bays only a valid PCM visitor permit will be accepted here & a resident permit will not allow you to park in the visitor bays marked with a V.
A contractor can park in a residents’ bay or visitor bay with the correct permit on display. However there is a code system in place for contractors as they often forget to return the permit. If, on arrival, the contractor calls PCM on 01753 512 603 there is an option for contractors (option 2) this will take them onto the right department and they will be able to gain the authorisation code. The code would be written down on a bit of paper and displayed on the dashboard, so residents don’t risk losing permits!
Commercial vehicles are not to be parked in any of the enforced bays or on roadways. PCM do not enforce the driveways so as long as vehicles are not spilling out onto the roadway they would not be enforced. Please see below list of what is classed as a commercial vehicle.
Commercial vehicles are not permitted in resident & visitor bays at any time between 7pm to 7am.
Your vehicle will be classified as a van, or as another form of specialist motor, if it has one or more of the following:
• A double cab (a separate area for the drivers and passengers from the tail end of the car)
• A pick-up bed at the back, designed specifically for cargo (with or without a roof)
• If it has no windows on the rear side panels
• If it’s a van that has been modified
• If it has a gross laden weight of over 1000 kg
• If it’s original purpose is commercial or domestic
Following samples taken earlier today, Natural Resources Wales have identified blue-green algae in the water at North Dock, Llanelli.
As a precaution, we have installed warning signs asking people and their animals not to enter the water.
Please ensure you and your pets do not come into contact with the algae or the water, and make sure you maintain basic hand hygiene.
Blue-green algae naturally occurs in inland waters, estuaries and the sea. Blooms can form when their numbers become excessive.
Bloom and scum-forming blue-green algae can produce toxins. These toxins can be very dangerous to animals. In humans, they can cause rashes after skin contact and illnesses if swallowed.
