Severe Weather Emergency Provision

The weather is exceptionally hot. For guidance on what to do if you see someone sleeping on the streets of Buckinghamshire see Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP).

Appeal a parking fine if you were stopped at a bus stop

There are some scenarios where appealing your parking fine (also known as a Parking Charge Notice or PCN) could be successful and some where you should consider paying instead.

Where it's unlikely an appeal would be successful

You are liable to pay if you were stopped at a bus stop, even if you:

  • have a Blue Badge (this doesn't provide an exemption as explained in your Blue Badge booklet)
  • were loading or unloading
  • were picking someone up or dropping them off
  • were driving a private hire vehicle

None of the above allow an exemption from stopping at a bus stop.

You can pay your PCN online.

Where your appeal may be successful

Appealing the PCN does not guarantee the PCN will be cancelled. Each case is reviewed individually on its own merit and in consideration of the circumstances.
