Vehicles and anti-social behaviour

The Council receives complaints about inappropriate use of vehicles on its car parks, such as vehicles speeding, wheel spinning or loud music being played from car stereos which disturbs nearby residents. All NNDC car parks are covered by a by-law that sets out how car parks must be used. The by-law is detailed below and is enforced by both the police and NNDC.

Contact the Norfolk Constabulary local Safer Neighbourhood Team on 101 if concerned about misuse of an NNDC car park.
