WHY APPEAL?
Over 6.1 million PCN's were issued in London during 2005/06, which is an increase of over 300,00 on 2004/05!!
From our research, at least 60% of parking tickets are issued incorrectly.
Many local authorities see the issuing of PCNs, as a way of raising much needed additional revenue.
However some motoring organisations and many motorists believe it is just another unfairly levied tax.
Income from parking tickets in London alone generated in excess of £1 billion in revenue.

As more and more Local Authorities turn to private contractors to enforce controlled parking restrictions on their behalf, so the number of tickets issued rises each year, over 5.8 million tickets were issued in London alone during 2004/05. Up from 4.9 million in 20002/03.
Westminster Council issued over 817,000 tickets in 2004/05. Income from parking in Westminster was a staggering £100 million in the year 2004/05
WHY APPEAL?
Alarmingly, the number of appeals against PCN's in Westminster in 2004/05 was only a tiny 0.06% of tickets issued, however 62 % of these were actually successful in having their appeals upheld. It appears from our research, that at least 60% of parking tickets are issued incorrectly or unfairly.
If you are in any doubt you should appeal. Local Authorities do not like you to appeal as it costs them time and money.
THINGS TO CONSIDER...
If you do wish to appeal then do not pay the charge.
If you pay the charge the council will close the case.
It is worth remembering that in most areas, the 50% discount on your PCN is preserved within the initial 14-day period.
You therefore have nothing to lose by appealing against the issue of the PCN.
Most local authorities will give you a further period to pay, should they not accept your representations (please note that this does not apply to tickets issued on Red Routes).
Here is just some of the information you will find on Ticketbusters
-
If the Local Authority does not reply within 56 days of receiving your initial appeal, they must cancel the Penalty Charge Notice and refund any charges you have paid i.e. clamping or tow-away.
-
A Local Authority cannot clamp or remove your vehicle if:
- Some Local Authorities have a "good grace" period of 5 minutes. For example this applies to the London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea but not the London Borough of Westminster, which is now "unofficially" 3 minutes. These allowances are because your watch etc may obviously be a few minutes ahead/behind that of the CEO's (newly named- Civil Enfocement Officers).
- Parking Attendants must be wearing their uniform, which includes their hat. If you witness them issuing your ticket and they are not wearing their uniform or hats, then the ticket issued is invalid.
You return to it before the clamp padlock is closed.
You return to it before it is completely off the ground.
