Appealing a Penalty Charge Notice

Appealing a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)

Please refer to the reverse of the PCN for full information on how to appeal your PCN.   If you intend to appeal/challenge your PCN, do not make payment at this point.  

Please note that appeals made for the following reasons are unlikely to be successful.

1. I did not know it was a 'pay and display' car park.
2. I could not find anywhere else to park.
3. I went to get change for the meter.
4. This is too much money to ask for a parking offence.
5. I only stopped for a minute or two.
6. I thought I was legally parked but I made a mistake.
7. I am not the owner/keeper of the vehicle because I hired/leased the vehicle.
8. I thought Sundays and Bank Holidays were free.
9. I parked outside of marked bays.
