Penalty Charge Notices (PCN)


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

Your FAQ

Question: Can I send in my payment with my appeal and if i am sucessful, receive a refund?

Answer: No, you should not do this. If you are going to challenge a Penalty Charge, you should do so without first making payment. Should you be unsucessful, we will then write to you and request payment.
By making payment, you are admitting liability for the charge.
