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.
