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 received a letter regarding a Penalty Charge Notice for a vehicle that I no longer own, what should I do?

Answer: You need to confirm in writing that you no longer own the vehicle or were not the driver/owner of the vehicle at the time in question (as the case may be). You should also supply the name and address of the person you sold the vehicle to, with the date of sale.
