What a Tower Hamlets code 92 PCN means for you

You have received a penalty charge notice from Tower Hamlets with contravention code 92. In plain English, this means the council considers that you parked causing an obstruction.

The legal basis for this PCN is the parking enforcement scheme, backed by a traffic regulation order (TRO or TMO) that Tower Hamlets 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 Tower Hamlets. If the council rejects your representations, you have the right to appeal to London Tribunals. The adjudicator's decision is independent and binding on the council.
