Residents Parking Scheme guidance notes

Civil Enforcement Officers will fix a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) to the vehicle. These notices can vary in value. The initial penalty charge is either £70.00 or £50.00 depending upon the contravention, but an early payment discount of 50% is available if paid within 14 days. If it is left unpaid and action is required by the council (to include obtaining registered keeper details, sending further notices out) it can increase by 50%. Any unpaid notice is passed to the Council's Enforcement Agents who are permitted to add on their costs. A right of appeal does exist at various stages, even on the day the notice is issued.
