Appeal a parking fine (PCN)

If you receive a parking fine (Penalty Charge Notice or PCN) from Buckinghamshire Council and believe it was issued incorrectly, you can appeal it in writing online or by post.

You cannot appeal over the phone.

Common reasons for a successful appeal include:

• the contravention did not happen
• signs or road markings were unclear
• you had a valid permit or paid parking session
• the vehicle had broken down
• there was an emergency
• the PCN contains incorrect details

Submit clear evidence to improve your chance of success such as:

• photographs
• permits
• receipts
• GPS records
• witness statements
