Annual Parking Report 2020 to 2021
Challenges, representations and appeals
The purpose of a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) is to encourage compliance with parking restrictions. The issue of a Penalty Charge Notice should act as a deterrent and hopefully through time re-educate drivers to ensure parking regulations are adhered to. Civic Enforcement Officers (CEO's) will only issue a Penalty Charge Notices where they are convinced from the evidence they have before them that a contravention has occurred.
The Council is committed to give a fair, transparent and consistent approach to dealing with correspondence at all times throughout the appeals process.
The aim of the Council is to respond to all informal challenges within 14 days, and formal representations within the required 56 days timeframe. For further information on parking policy and enforcement visit the how to pay a parking fine webpage or the Patrol UK website.
