Pay or challenge a parking fine
Pay a penalty charge notice (PCN) or tell us why you think it's wrong.
You'll need the 10-character penalty charge notice (PCN) number and your vehicle registration. Both are on the notice.
Pay a parking fine
If you pay within 14 days of the date on the notice, you'll only pay half.
You can also pay by phone on 01632 960 001, 24 hours a day.
See the photos of your vehicle
Our civil enforcement officers take photos when they issue a notice. You can see them online with your PCN number.
Challenge a parking fine
If you think the notice is wrong, tell us why within 28 days. Send any evidence you have, such as a valid permit, a pay and display ticket or a photo of unclear signs.
If you challenge within 14 days and we reject your challenge, you can still pay half for another 14 days.
What happens next
We'll reply within 28 days. If we reject your challenge and you still disagree, we'll tell you how to make a formal challenge. If we reject that, you can appeal to the independent Traffic Penalty Tribunal. It's free to appeal.
If you do not pay or challenge
After 28 days we'll send a notice to the vehicle's registered keeper. If it's still not paid, the charge goes up by 50% and we can ask the court to register it as a debt.
