How to challenge it
What a Gosport code 57 PCN means for you
You have received a penalty charge notice from Gosport with contravention code 57. In plain English, this means the council considers that you parked in contravention of a bus ban.
The legal basis for this PCN is the parking enforcement scheme, backed by a traffic regulation order (TRO or TMO) that Gosport must have properly made and signed. Without a valid order and compliant signage, the restriction is not enforceable.
To challenge this PCN, you can make formal representations to Gosport. If the council rejects your representations, you have the right to appeal to Traffic Penalty Tribunal. The adjudicator's decision is independent and binding on the council.

FAQs
Gosport code 57 PCN FAQs
Common questions about contravention code 57 PCNs from Gosport and how to challenge them.
What does code 57 mean on a Gosport PCN?
Contravention code 57 on a Gosport PCN means: Parked in contravention of a bus ban. This is a parking contravention enforced by civil enforcement officers within the Gosport area.
How do I challenge a Gosport code 57 penalty charge?
You can make formal representations to Gosport within 28 days of receiving the notice to owner. If Gosport rejects your representations, you have 28 days to appeal to Traffic Penalty Tribunal. Upload your PCN and Parking Mate UK identifies the grounds specific to code 57.
What are the common defences for code 57 in Gosport?
Common defences for a Gosport code 57 PCN include inadequate or missing signage, a defective traffic regulation order, failure to follow the observation procedure, incorrect contravention code, and procedural failures in serving the notice.
Can Gosport use the wrong contravention code instead of code 57?
Yes. If Gosport has issued your PCN with contravention code 57 but the code does not accurately describe what happened, this is a valid ground for challenge. The contravention code must match the restriction actually in force at the location and time stated.
How long do I have to respond to a Gosport code 57 PCN?
You typically have 28 days to pay at the discounted rate or make an informal challenge. After a notice to owner, you have 28 days for formal representations. If Gosport rejects those, you have 28 days to appeal to Traffic Penalty Tribunal. Check your code 57 PCN promptly.
What evidence do I need for a Gosport code 57 challenge?
For a Gosport code 57 challenge, gather the PCN itself, photos of signage and road markings at the location, any payment receipts, dashcam footage if available, and a written note of why you believe code 57 was incorrectly applied.
Is a Gosport code 57 PCN always correctly issued?
No. A Gosport code 57 PCN may be incorrectly issued for several reasons: the signage may not comply with regulations, the observation period may not have been followed correctly, the TRO may be defective, or the code may not match what actually happened.
What happens if I ignore a Gosport code 57 PCN?
Ignoring a Gosport code 57 PCN leads to escalation: notice to owner, then a charge certificate (increasing the penalty by 50%), then registration at the Traffic Enforcement Centre, and eventually bailiff enforcement. Responding early preserves the most options.
