Types of fine
There are two types of parking fine in Renfrewshire:

• off-street fines. These fines are given by Renfrewshire Council car parking attendants. You pay these fines to Renfrewshire Council in Paisley.
• on-street fines. These fines are given by Strathclyde Police or their traffic wardens. You pay these fines to the fixed penalty clerk of Glasgow City Council who collects them for the police and warden services.
