How to challenge it
What is a City of London restricted street PCN?
A restricted street PCN from City of London is a penalty charge notice for parking on a yellow line during restricted hours. Single yellow lines have specific restricted hours shown on nearby time plates. Double yellow lines generally restrict parking at all times.
The legal basis for every City of London yellow line restriction is a traffic management order (TMO) or traffic regulation order (TRO). If the order was not properly made, published, or does not match the signage on the ground, the restriction may be unenforceable.
Signage is one of the most common grounds for challenge. City of London Corporation must display time plates for single yellow lines, and the lines themselves must be correctly marked in accordance with the TMO/TRO. Loading exemptions may also apply unless the restriction specifically prohibits loading.
Parking Mate UK checks your City of London restricted street PCN against signage requirements, TMO/TRO validity, loading exemption rules, and service timelines. If defects are found, you receive a professional appeal letter for City of London Corporation or London Tribunals.

Common City of London restricted street PCN defects
Missing or illegible time plates
Single yellow lines at City of London locations must have time plates on nearby posts showing the restricted hours. Missing, faded, or illegible time plates can invalidate the PCN.
TMO/TRO validity issues
City of London Corporation must have a valid, correctly made traffic management order for every yellow line restriction. If the order was not properly published or does not match the signage, the restriction may be unenforceable.
Loading exemption
On many City of London restricted streets, you may stop briefly for loading or unloading unless loading is specifically prohibited. If you were genuinely loading, this is a valid ground.
Line marking defects
Yellow lines must be correctly marked in accordance with the TMO/TRO. Faded, broken, or incorrectly positioned lines can support a challenge.
Incorrect contravention code
Code 01 (parked on restricted street) and code 02 (loading on restricted street) have different requirements. The code must match the actual circumstances.

How do I appeal a City of London restricted street PCN?
To appeal a City of London restricted street penalty charge notice, make informal representations to City of London Corporation within 28 days. Restricted street PCNs relate to yellow line parking. Common grounds include signage defects, TMO/TRO validity issues, and loading exemptions. Parking Mate UK checks all applicable rules.
What contravention codes does City of London use for yellow line PCNs?

What signage must City of London display for yellow line restrictions?
City of London must display time plates on nearby posts showing the restricted hours for single yellow lines.

What is a TMO/TRO and how does it affect my City of London restricted street PCN?
A traffic management order (TMO) or traffic regulation order (TRO) is the legal basis for parking restrictions. City of London Corporation must have a valid, correctly made TMO/TRO for every restricted street. If the order was not properly made, published, or does not match the signage, the restriction may be unenforceable.
Are there loading exemptions for City of London restricted streets?

A City of London restricted street PCN can be either higher-band (up to £160, reduced to £80 within 14 days) or lower-band (up to £80, reduced to £40 within 14 days) depending on the contravention code. Code 01 is typically lower-band and code 02 is typically higher-band.
Can I appeal a City of London restricted street PCN to London Tribunals?
