Parking enforcement on Yeovil College Campus
Frequently Asked Questions
Please note that parking enforcement is carried out by a third party – TPS. They manage the parking on site, with an attendant patrolling all areas, both on campus and at the council Rec off Pickett Lane. TPS are responsible for and are authorised by the DVLA to issue a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) (parking ticket) to anyone not following the terms and conditions as described on the various signs in the college car parks.

Parking Charge Notice (PCN)
TPS enforce the parking notices and have a clear and fair process for appeals which will be shown on your ticket. The college do not manage this process.
If you believe you have registered your car, you should go to Reception or Facilities to check that the registration number held by the college is correct. The college may be able to support your appeal to TPS if we believe the details have been entered incorrectly.
