Pay your parking or bus lane fine
How to pay your parking or bus lane fine, also known as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
What to do about your fine
We issue:
- parking fines, when you park in a way that breaks our parking rules
- bus lane fines, when you drive in a lane for buses and taxis
- bus gate fines, when you drive in a short section of road for buses and authorised vehicles
When you log in to pay or appeal your fine, we will give you a code and a short description of the rule you've broken. The codes are set by the Department for Transport and are called contravention codes. There may also be photographs for you to review.
If you accept the reason for the fine, you can pay it. If you don't accept the reason for the fine, you can appeal it.
Do not pay your fine if you intend to appeal it. We can’t refund a fine after it's been paid.

Do not try and negotiate the price of your parking fine. We cannot change the fine amount over the phone.
