The Manchester City Council & NSL Debt Management Team has been shortlisted for the Parking Partnerships Award at the British Parking Awards 2025!

Launched in 2020, the partnership has delivered a fundamental shift in how persistent evaders and vehicles of interest are managed. By combining data-driven enforcement with a human-centred approach, the team has quadrupled levels of recovered debt while ensuring fairness and dignity for those facing financial challenges.
Key to its success is collaboration
From daily coordination between enforcement officers and council teams to monthly strategy reviews that ensure transparency and continuous improvement. This joined-up way of working has not only boosted recovery rates but also created better outcomes for residents and the city.
The recognition is a testament to the hard work and vision of the partnership, which has set new standards for effective, ethical debt management.
Congratulations to everyone involved – we’re proud of what you’ve achieved and look forward to Friday’s awards ceremony!
