Important Note relating to Penalty Charge Notice under Contravention Code 12

The definition of this contravention is “Parked in a residents' or shared use parking place without clearly displaying either a permit or voucher or pay and display ticket issued for that place.”

This contravention carries the higher penalty charge. However, this charge may be reduced to the lower penalty charge if you were parked in order to visit a resident and can provide evidence.

Proof accepted by Haringey Council is a valid visitors’ parking permit, voucher, pay and display ticket and resident parking permit.

Please remember that if you want to challenge the issue of the Penalty Charge Notice, you should not send payment at this time, but follow the instruction on the notice.
