Details of service:
An appeal system exists if you believe that you have been unfairly or incorrectly issued with a Penalty Charge Notice, but if the fault is under your control you are unlikely to be successful. The Council will consider a written appeal and will respond formally in writing.
A special independent body, the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, has been set up to ensure that unresolved legal disputes between the motorist and the Council can be heard at a formal tribunal hearing. This service cannot adjudicate on whether or not the Council took the "correct" decision in response to an appeal. It can only consider whether or not the contravention occurred; the notice was properly and correctly issued; that the regulation order is properly made and signed; and other legal matters.
If you wish to appeal please complete the Appeal Online form.
Please note: On 31st March 2008, the previous parking adjudication body NPAS (National Parking Adjudication Service) changed its name to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. The new website address for TPT is www.trafficpenaltytribunal.gov.uk.
