6: Parking Permits

You need to apply for & pay for a parking permit for the space allocated to your apartment/house through City Permits. You can also apply for a visitor permit (if required) through City Permits. They cost £6 each.

7: Visitor Parking Issues

Visitors parking is problematic and various schemes have been tried over the years.
Currently, residents have a visitors permit to enable their guests to use the bay. What we are finding is that residents are using their visitors permits to “legally” park their second vehicle in the visitors spaces or giving them out to their friends who work locally such as at the hospital. There have been other schemes tried in the past but these have not been particularly effective and create larger problems. One for example was visitors needing to register their vehicles to park in the visitors bays with the enforcement company. This resulted in residents making mistakes and getting ticketed or legitimate visitors making the same error. Once a ticket has been issued, it is not the easiest to get cancelled if it has been correctly applied.

8: Problems with Cars Parking on Pavements

It is not the responsibility of Adair Paxton Ltd or the Parklands Board of Directors to deal with issues around cars parking on/blocking pavements.

The Police and Council enforcement teams can issue fixed penalties for the criminal obstruction of public highways under the Highways Act 1980: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/66/contents

11: Reporting Antisocial Behaviour

It is not the responsibility of Adair Paxton Ltd or the Parklands Board of Directors to report or deal with antisocial behaviour. Antisocial behaviour is a matter for the Police.

If you are concerned about any antisocial behaviour you have seen on site, please report it to Wakefield Police using this online form: https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/form/report-anti-social-behaviour

This anti-social behaviour reporting form is not intended for use for reporting an incident that is currently in progress. This form is for reporting something that is no longer in progress – or for reporting regular anti-social behaviour occurrences. You will not receive an immediate response to an online form submission.

For a crime that is in progress, in an emergency, always dial 999. In non-emergencies dial 101.

12: Reporting Rough Sleepers

It is not the responsibility of Adair Paxton Ltd or the Parklands Board of Directors to report or deal with rough sleepers. If you find any rough sleepers on or around the site, it is likely that the person/people rough sleeping need support and assistance to find emergency accommodation. There are local services available year round that can provide rough sleepers with support, advice and assistance to find emergency accommodation.

Riverside provides Wakefield Council’s Rough Sleeping Support Service and operates a range of intervention services for rough sleepers – from early identification of those new to sleeping on the streets, to those who’ve become entrenched rough sleepers and may have been on the streets for some time. This latter category of customer may also have multiple issues, such as addiction and mental health problems, and they are able to deliver support to these customers. Following reports of rough sleeping, an outreach worker will visit the reported location to establish rough sleeping and offer advice and assistance to try resolve homelessness.

13: Keeping Pets (leaseholders only)

The Management Company does not have the power to consent to pets. Your Freeholder has put in place their own agent to handle alteration and consent requested. They are called Homeground and pet consent needs to be granted by the Landlord (Homeground). Contact is through their website.
