Service Description: The Isle of Wight Council can supply an access protection bar for a private access as long as the relevant criteria is fulfilled and the correct payment is received.
Also known as:- White Lines
Answer: Access protection bars are advisory only and are there to highlight to the general public that the access is in use. If someone parks in such a manner that it does not allow you to exit your driveway then they are causing an obstruction. If such a situation occurs, you can now report this to the Isle of Wight Council's Parking Services Department on 01983 823714 and one of the Council's Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO's) can issue a penalty charge notice, if the offending vehicle is still parked in contravention when they visit the site. However, please note the CEO can only issue a penalty charge notice, they do not have any power to remove an obstructing vehicle. In this situation, you still need to contact the Police on 0845 045 4545 (local Police contact number).
