Cardiff Council have just taken over what were Traffic Wardens and are now called Civil Parking Enforcement Officers (CEO's) and are making a big deal out of it as below as example - Don't be a Problem Parker New parking scheme launched by Cardiff Council. Drivers are being asked to think before they park as a new scheme is launched to address illegal parking across the city. We have taken over responsibility from the police for enforcing parking and yellow line restrictions throughout the whole of Cardiff using our own enforcement teams. The police will continue to issue tickets to drivers who park on zigzag markings, cause obstructions and park dangerously. This new scheme aims to bring significant improvements to the city, making it safer for pedestrians, easier for public transport and better for the disabled community.
