Notes:
*Civil Parking Enforcement was introduced in Adur on 5th March 2009.

The missing appeal results are either where further information was awaited at the end of the year or, in the case of the Adjudicator, further evidence
has been supplied that the Council then felt it was appropriate not to contest further.

Further information regarding parking enforcement and parking operations can be found on the Adur District Council and West Sussex County
Council websites - www.adur.gov.uk and www.westsussex.gov.uk.

The aim of the Parking schemes in Worthing and Adur is to educate first and issue later. If you are a member of a group who you feel would benefit from
our attendance at a meeting, please feel free to contact us to discuss the matter.
