Penalty Charge Notices

If you do not buy and clearly display a ticket for the correct amount or if you ignore the parking regulations (lines and signs), you will be issued with a Penalty Charge Notice.

Our policy for the enforcement and cancellation of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) is available to download below.

Whilst processing PCNs, the registered keeper details of vehicles may be requested from the DVLA.

What to do if you receive a PCN

Don't ignore a PCN, it won't go away. Follow the payment instructions on the PCN. There is a discount for paying within 14 days of issue.

Pay a PCN (parking ticket)

You can pay a PCN online using our secure online payments site. NB should you wish to challenge the PCN and appeal, do not pay.
