This page provides clear guidance on parking contraventions that may result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and explains how to appeal if you believe a fine has been issued incorrectly.

Before you submit an appeal, we recommend looking at our contravention code guidance, which gives you the reasons a PCN may be issued and offers helpful advice for each case. 

You can find your contravention code on your PCN.

Understanding parking fine codes

Each PCN corresponds to a specific contravention code, which tells you what the parking violation is. This page provides a list of codes with clear explanations to help you understand why a fine was issued and if you should make an appeal.
