RESPONSIBILITY for handling parking fines has now transferred to the North Essex Parking Partnership.

Anyone who receives a parking ticket in the district should now make their payment to the Partnership, either via the automated payment line on 01206 507275 or through the Partnership’s new website parkingpartnership.org

The partnership’s main phone number is 0845 045 1599 or customers can send an e-mail to parking@colchester.gov.uk

Please note that payment of parking fines can no longer be made in person at the district council’s offices in Saffron Walden.
