What can be issued a PCN

Our Civil Enforcement Officers can issue Parking fines (Penalty Charge Notices) when vehicles park in breach of Traffic Regulation Orders

For example:

• on double or single yellow lines
• in a resident permit scheme without a valid digital permit or visitor voucher 
• overstaying a time limited parking
• in a disabled bay where a sign and road markings indicate "Disabled Badge Holders Only" (but not an advisory disabled bays where there is no sign or Traffic Regulation Order)
• more than 50cm from the edge of the kerb in the carriageway
• alongside a dropped kerb (but not opposite a dropped kerb)
• blocking a driveway (but only if requested by the householder)

 If there are no parking restrictions we will not be able to take action. You should contact the Police on 101 (their non-emergency number) instead.
