Penalty Charge Notices

The Council is responsible for enforcing parking restrictions in East Dunbartonshire.

Our Community Wardens use an electronic device to store information and produce the ticket, and they also take photos of the vehicle. They have body worn cameras that can record any incidents or inappropriate behaviour. At this time Police Scotland will continue to deal with vehicles causing an obstruction.

Blue Badge holders can park for free in all of East Dunbartonshire's Council car parks - even where charges are in place and regardless of whether it is in a disabled bay as long as a valid disabled badge is properly displayed and the bay is detailed for said class of vehicle (not reserved for eg motorcycles or electric vehicles). You do not have to obtain a pay & display ticket. 

Charging has been introduced within nine Council owned town centre car parks and charges will be in force Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm.

The charges are:

• 0-2 hours - £2
• 2-3 hours - £3
• 3-4 hours - £4
• Over 4 hours - £6.

Pay and display charging for a limited amount of on-street parking spaces in two of our town centres is imminent and is presently due to come into effect from Monday 2 November 2026.

The streets upon which the charging will be applied are:

• Kirk Road, New Kirk Road, and Douglas Place in Bearsden
• Oxford Street, Townhead and Union Street in Kirkintilloch.

In line with the off-street charging car parks, charging times have been kept to a minimum, Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, with no restrictions in the evenings or on Sundays. 

The charges to be applied are £0.50 for every 15 minutes, with a maximum stay of two hours and no return within an hour thereafter.

If you receive a Parking Fine or Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), please do not ignore it.

New Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) levels for parking offences came into effect across East Dunbartonshire on 4 September 2024.

The PCN charge is £100 but if paid within 14 days the fine will reduce to £50.

If payment has not been received before the period of 28 days further action will be taken. If payment remains outstanding after 56 days and a Charge Certificate is issued the amount due will increase to £150.
