PCN charges

Charges are set by a London-wide body called London Councils to ensure that charges are consistent throughout London.

There are two charge bands for PCNs that we issue:

• Band A (£160 or £110 depending on how serious the parking contravention is considered to be) – Applies to the area north of the borough bounded by the south circular and the A3 to the west
• Band B (£140 or £90 depending on how serious the parking contravention is considered to be) -Applies in the remainder of the borough

All PCNs issued for bus lane and moving traffic offences will be charged at the Band A higher rate of £160.

There is a 50% discount if payment of a PCN is received by us within 14 days.

• If the charge is unpaid after 28 days, a Notice to Owner is sent to registered keeper of the vehicle and the full charge is payable
• If the charge is unpaid, it increases by 50% upon issue of a Charge Certificate
• If the charge is subsequently registered as a debt, a £10 court fee is also payable
• If enforcement agents are instructed to recover the debt, enforcement agent charges are also payable

For example

• PCN: £140
• Discounted to £70 if paid within 14 days
• Increasing to £210 when a Charge Certificate is issued
• Increasing to £220 when registered as a debt
