Parking ticket (PCN)
A parking ticket is also known as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
You may receive a PCN if you park:
- in areas where loading/unloading restrictions apply
- or longer than the time paid for
- in a resident's parking space without displaying a valid permit
- in a reserved bay e.g. disabled bay, taxi rank unless authorised to do so
- in a bus stop or bus lane during the prohibited hours
- not wholly within a bay
Pay a Penalty Charge Notice
If you do park where you should not be you are likely to be issued with a PCN. The notice will explain how you can pay.
If you pay within 14 days you will only have to pay the discounted amount shown on the notice.
Pay online
You can pay a PCN online.
You'll need your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) number and your vehicle registration.
