Appealing a parking ticket

Did you know you can make an informal appeal about a parking fine in certain circumstances?

How to appeal depends on the type of parking ticket you have – check what the ticket says before you start.

 

Don’t pay a parking ticket that you’re appealing. Usually, paying is seen as admitting the ticket was right – so you won’t be able to appeal it once you’ve paid.

 

Most parking tickets will be one of:

  • a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) or an Excess Charge Notice (ECN) – usually issued by the council on public land, such as a high street or council car park
  • a Parking Charge Notice – issued by a landowner or parking company on private land, such as a supermarket car park
  • a Fixed Penalty Notice – issued by the police on red routes, white zig zags or where the police manage parking
