Appeals on street parking

If you believe that the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), or parking ticket, you received should not have been issued or that there are special reasons why it should be cancelled, you can make a challenge against the PCN.

Send a challenge letter within 14 days of the issue date on the PCN to this address:

Haringey Council
Parking Service
P.O. Box 38996
London
N22 9AF

Alternatively, you can make an application using our appeal against a parking ticket online form.

Please quote the Penalty Charge notice number and vehicle registration number in all your communications relating to parking tickets. We will aim to write to tell you the decision within ten working days of receipt of the letter.  During this period, all actions on the notice will be suspended until a full reply has been sent. If you have to pay we will give you 14 days at the discount rate.

If your correspondence is received by us after the 14 days allowed for payment of the ticket at the discount rate, and we cannot cancel the ticket, we will allow you 28 days from the date we reply to you to pay at the full rate.

If you do not make payment or write to challenge your parking ticket, we will send a Notice to Owner to the person who appears to be the registered keeper of the vehicle after 28 days have elapsed from the date the PCN was issued.

Appealing on the Notice to Owner

You can make a formal representation to the Council only after receiving a Notice to Owner.

Representations may be made on the Notice to Owner on one of the following grounds:

• The alleged contravention did not occur
• You were not the owner of the vehicle at the time of the alleged contravention or have never been the owner
• The vehicle had been permitted to remain at rest in the place in question by a person who was in control of the vehicle without the consent of the owner
• You are a hire firm and the vehicle in question was at the material time hired under a hiring agreement; and the person hiring it has signed a statement accepting liability
• The penalty charge exceed the amount applicable in the circumstances of the case
• The Traffic Order was invalid
• There has been procedural impropriety on the part of the enforcement authority
• That the penalty charge has already been paid in full, or has been paid at the reduced amount within the specified period.

The specific grounds of appeal are explained in more detail on the Notice to Owner form. Please be sure to send evidence to support your representations.

We will consider your representations and reply to you. If the ticket cannot be cancelled, you will be told the reason why. You can then either pay at the full rate, or appeal to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service (the independent adjudicator) using the form that we will include in our response to your representations. If we accept your representations the ticket will be cancelled.

Appeals over the telephone will not be accepted.
