Real feedback from drivers
Feedback from drivers who used Parking Mate UK to challenge council penalty charge notices and escalation-stage paperwork.
“Successful appeal against a PCN from a car park with poorly worded signs. Premier Park rejected my first appeal, so I went to the ombudsman where it was accepted. Definitely worth the effort.”

“Totally worth it to save over a hundred pounds being robbed by Horizon. Answer a couple of questions and you get a letter that you send off. My parking charge was cancelled.”

“Got caught at an infamous scam hotspot. I know I could have appealed myself but could not afford the time to trawl through forums. Parking Mate handled everything and the charge was cancelled.”

FAQs
Westminster PCN FAQs
Quick answers before you start.
How do I appeal a Westminster parking ticket?
You can challenge a Westminster PCN informally within the first 28 days, or make formal representations after receiving a notice to owner. Westminster City Council has an online portal for challenges. If Westminster rejects your formal representations, you can appeal to London Tribunals for an independent adjudicator's decision.
How long do I have to appeal a Westminster PCN?
For a Westminster PCN, you have 28 days to pay at the 50% discounted rate or make an informal challenge. If a notice to owner follows, you have another 28 days for formal representations. If Westminster rejects those, you have 28 days to appeal to London Tribunals. Missing any of these Westminster PCN deadlines limits your options.
Does Westminster use camera enforcement?
Yes. Westminster City Council uses an extensive network of CCTV cameras for parking and traffic enforcement. Camera-issued Westminster PCNs are sent by post as postal penalty charge notices. The camera evidence must meet specific standards, and the postal PCN must be served within the statutory time limit. Camera evidence errors are a common ground for challenging Westminster PCNs.
What are the most common Westminster parking offences?
The most common Westminster PCN offences include parking on single and double yellow lines, overstaying in paid bays, parking in residents' permit bays without a valid permit, stopping in bus lanes, and loading restrictions. Westminster enforces aggressively across the borough, and the contravention code on your Westminster PCN determines which specific rules apply.
Can I appeal a Westminster PCN at London Tribunals?
Yes. If Westminster rejects your formal representations, you have 28 days to appeal to London Tribunals (formerly the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service). The appeal is heard by an independent adjudicator whose decision is binding on Westminster. London Tribunals handles appeals for all London boroughs, and the process can be done online or in person.
How much is a Westminster penalty charge?
Westminster PCN amounts depend on the contravention. Higher-band offences (such as parking on double yellow lines) are typically charged at the higher rate, while lower-band offences attract a lower penalty. The discounted rate (50% off) applies if you pay within 14 days of service. If a charge certificate is issued, the penalty increases by 50% above the full rate.
