A ticket that is issued by the council for parking, moving traffic and bus lane contraventions is known as a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). We use Parking Attendants, CCTV cameras and smart cars to issue PCNs.
Clamping of vehicles on most of Lambeth's roads ceased on 1 April 2008. However, clamping will continue on Lambeth housing estate roads. Vehicles parked illegally in a parking bay may be removed 30 minutes after a Penalty Charge Notice is issued. For other parking offences, your vehicle may be removed if it is illegally parked any time after a Penalty Charge Notice has been issued.
