PCN and parking charges
Penalty Charge Notice charges
Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are issued on a system of band A and band B roads. Band A roads are those roads north of the South Circular (A205) and all roads in Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs). Band B roads are those south of the South Circular that are not in CPZs.
Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are charged at a higher and lower rate depending on the seriousness of the contravention. The higher charge applies to contraventions associated with prohibited and dangerous parking, for example, to a motorist who double parks. The lower charge applies to all other contraventions, for example, to a motorist who overstays in a pay and display bay.
