Parking tickets and appeals

Pay a parking ticket

If you have been issued with a parking ticket you have 28 days to pay or challenge it.

The cost of a ticket is either £50 or £70, depending on the reason it has been issued.

Payments made within 14 days of the date the ticket is served will have a 50% discount applied.

A civil enforcement officer who issues a ticket cannot cancel it. If you feel a ticket has been wrongly issued you can challenge the ticket using the online form in the "Appeal Process" section below.

If you have received a parking fine and have lost your ticket, please email parkingservices@cambridgeshire.gov.uk and include your full name, telephone number, vehicle registration number and penalty charge notice issue date (if known).

You can view the County TMA enforcement manual, Parking Ticket Code of Practise and PCN manual for details of how civil enforcement is undertaken within Cambridge.

Appeal process

If you appeal against the parking ticket within 14 days after receiving it and if your appeal is rejected, the council will generally extend the period of 50% discount for payment. If your appeal is rejected, you will be provided with all the information you need for the appeal to an independent adjudicator.

Please follow the instructions on the reverse of the PCN or use the online form below.
