Parking services: Outline

Street Management Services are responsible for on-street parking issues across the city, particularly parking enforcement. We aim to make driving and parking in Manchester as trouble-free as possible for all road users by keeping roads clear of vehicles parked in contravention. We will also aim to keep bus lanes, loading bays, taxi ranks, disabled bays, junctions and school entrances clear.

Manchester City Council employs a contractor, NCP, to ensure this happens and its parking attendants play a vital role in keeping traffic moving. Street Management Services are also responsible for city centre off-street car parking with our joint venture partners NCP. We have created a separate company called NCP (Manchester) Limited to operate some of the city centre car parks.
