An operation to tackle illegal parking in Ystrad Mynach town centre is underway – with police officers preparing to hand out fines to motorists from next week.
Officers have been advising drivers about where they can park and how they can park legally, but will fine motorists who continue to flout parking rules.
CSO Rebecca Chilvers said: “We want to remind all drivers to park legally for the safety of everyone using the town centre. The first week gives drivers the chance to understand where they can park and speak to us with any queries they have.
“During the second week, we will be giving out fines to tackle those drivers that continue to park illegally, despite our warnings.”
Gwent Police said they are also be working with Caerphilly County Borough Council to look at longer term measures to alleviate parking problems.
