Service Description: The Isle of Wight Council enforce parking regulations under the Traffic Management Act 2004. One of the ways in which they do this is by issuing Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) which are also processed by the local authority. However, PCNs are enforced through the civil justice system, rather than the criminal justice system. Therefore, councils enforcing parking restrictions under the Traffic Management Act 2004 are said to be operating “decriminalised parking enforcement”.
Also known as:- Excess Charges, Parking Fines, Parking Tickets, PCN
Answer: No, the Traffic Penalty Tribunal are a private adjudication service and the Council do not have any involvement in the decisions made.
