How to have your penalty charge notice (PCN) for this parking contravention cancelled.

We may be able to assist you in having your penalty charge notice for this contravention cancelled. In order to ensure that you receive the maximum help we have developed an easy to follow 3 stage process.

-This may also include diagrams and pictures showing signage requirements etc.

Possible grounds of appeal for this contravention

1. Was the bay signposted and marked correctly? To be enforceable a bus stop/stand must be marked by broken yellow lines and have the legend “bus stop” or “bus stand” shown in large letters facing the direction of the traffic. If the bus stop is long then the legend should appear every 12 meters. See details and diagrams below.

Below we show diagrams of the signs and bay markings which must be in situ by law and much more information that will help you decide whether to appeal against your penalty charge notice.

We have even summarised adjudicator's decisions where motorists have won.
