The Challenge Process

If wish to challenge your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), there are a number of stages to the challenge process:

Stage 1. Informal challenge

You can make an informal challenge up to 28 days after the PCN is issued. More information on how to make an informal challenge.

Stage 2. Formal representations

If you do not pay or challenge your PCN within the first 28 days after the PCN is issued, we will issue a written reminder called a 'Notice to Owner' providing the option to either pay the PCN or make a formal representation. More information on how to make a formal representation.

Stage 3.  Appealing to an independent parking adjudicator

If you have made a formal representation and it has been rejected by the Council, you can make an appeal to an independent Parking Adjudicator at the Traffic and Parking Appeals Service to have the decision reviewed. More information on how to appeal to the Parking Adjudicator

Please remember that by law, if you wish to object or appeal against a Penalty Charge Notice you must do so in writing, which can be by e-mail or by sending a letter in the post.
