Parking tickets, properly known as Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs), are issued for a number of different parking "contraventions".
If you are issued a parking ticket (PCN) you have 28 days to pay or challenge it.
The cost of a PCN is either £50 or £70, depending on the reason it has been issued. These charges are agreed by the Secretary of State for Transport.
Payments made within 14 days of the date on which the PCN is served will have a 50% discount applied.
The Civil Enforcement Officer (traffic warden) who issues your ticket can explain why you are being given it, although they have no authority to cancel it after it has been issued.
If you believe a ticket has been wrongly issued, for example if you have a valid parking permit or exemption to make a delivery, you can challenge the PCN.
