Parking contraventions

CCTV cameras are used to detect and fine vehicles that are parked illegally and are causing obstructions to other drivers. This helps to reduce congestion and provides consistent, evidence based enforcement and acts as a visible car crime deterrent.

Trained, experienced CCTV Operators will issue a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) by observing and video-recording potential offenders. Once the Operator determines that a contravention has occurred, a PCN will be sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle by post.

CCTV enforcement operates alongside our Civil Enforcement Officers. Motorists detected by camera receive their PCN through the post rather than having it attached to their vehicle.

Penalty Charge Notices

If you receive a PCN through the post, please do not ignore it.

When a Penalty Charge Notice is issued, motorists will be given an opportunity to either pay the PCN or challenge it in writing. View more information on PCN payments and challenges.

You can also view images and footage related to your PCN online. You will require the Penalty Charge Reference number (found on the PCN) and your vehicle registration number. View PCN images online now.
