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: I have appealed, will the my PCN increase after 14 days?

Answer: No, when your appeal has been recieved within the 14 days from issue, your PCN will be put on hold until a decision is made. If your appeal is rejected we will then give you 14 days to pay at the reduced rate. You will not be given any further opportunities to pay this reduced charge.
