Issue - Parking in Loading Zones
Prolonged parking in loading zones has caused issues for residents and vendors who need to use the zones for loading and unloading. Parking enforcement occurs M-F from 7:00am - 5:30pm. Please call the Norfolk Police Department Non-Emergency number 757-441-5610 to report cars parked beyond the limit indicated in the zone.
These zones may soon be reduced from 30 minutes to 20 minutes and may soon be towing enforced.
Resource - Norfolk Bank On Program
The City of Norfolk facilitates Bank On programming once a month and offers tips for financial wellness.
This month's tip is "Consider visiting an IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance site for tax preparation before you pay someone. Visit www.irs.gov for more information."
Priorities
The DNCL publishes our priorities yearly to help influence local officials on the matters that matter the most to our residents.
