High streets were identified as the main hotspot for the issuing of PCNs, with the borough of Bromley topping the list. The most frequent reason for a ticket being issued was ‘stopped where prohibited’ – parking on a red route or clearway. Almost 36% of tickets were issued for this reason, with a further 33% handed out for parking or loading where restrictions are in force.
“Loading and unloading is an exemption to restricted street regulations – it’s allowed on single or double yellow lines for a maximum of 40 minutes. Often PCNs are issued incorrectly because the enforcement officer needs more training and doesn’t realise what’s permitted.
“Our PCN Administration Service can advise members when tickets have been issued incorrectly and should be challenged,” Natalie added.
