Gather Evidence Immediately: Take photographs of the scene, including your parked car, any relevant signs, road markings, parking meters, and tickets. Ensure photos have timestamps if possible.
Check Appeal Deadline: Review your ticket for the appeal deadline (usually 14-28 days). Starting an appeal within 14 days often allows you to still pay the reduced rate if unsuccessful.
Determine Ticket Issuer: Check if the ticket is from a council, police, or private company as this affects the appeal process. Look for terms like 'Penalty Charge Notice' for official tickets.
Submit Initial Appeal: File your appeal through the appropriate channel (online, mail, or in person). Include your ticket number, vehicle registration, and all supporting evidence.
Write Appeal Letter: Draft a clear, brief, and respectful appeal letter explaining why the ticket should be cancelled. Attach it separately from the ticket form if possible.
Include Supporting Documents: Attach relevant evidence such as photos, witness statements, medical certificates, or parking receipts to support your case.
Keep Records: Make copies of all documents submitted and keep tracking numbers or confirmation of submission for your records.
Wait for Response: Allow several weeks for a response. If you don't hear back, contact the parking authority to confirm receipt of your appeal.
Consider Further Appeal: If initial appeal is rejected, you can make a formal appeal to an independent tribunal (like the Traffic Penalty Tribunal outside London).
Pay or Appeal Further: If appeal is denied, pay within specified timeframe (usually 10 days) or proceed with next level of appeal if available.
Appeal Parking Ticket FAQs
You should appeal if: the signs/road markings were unclear, you were parked correctly, there weren't signs indicating CCTV/ANPR use, or if you have valid evidence proving you followed parking rules. It's free to make an informal appeal, so it's worth trying if you believe the ticket was unfair.
