A NEW one-stop shop for all parking services in Stockton has opened its doors.
The parking shop, located in Gloucester House, Church Road, offers local car parks information, sells parking season tickets, accepts payments of fines for off-road parking offences, manages the blue badges for disabled people and issues concessionary travel passes.
Stockton Borough Council is to apply to the Government to take over responsibility for roadside parking control from the police next year, in line with moves by other authorities across the country.
If approved, this would mean parking violations in the borough would no longer be a criminal offence, with income from fines channelled into local transport.
For further information about the shop, contact (01642) 528499.
