Receiving a Parking Charge Notice in Hounslow

Parking tickets are issued by the Hounslow local authority in London. The penalty for parking in an illegal spot can be as much as £30, which is a lot for many people. It should be noted that if you feel that your parking ticket was issued incorrectly, this doesn't necessarily mean that the council is purposely trying to scam its residents. Instead, the city might be acting within the law correctly but acting unfairly.

To contest a PCN, one needs to contact the council and explain why they believe they should not have been charged a penalty fee. You may have received a if:

  1. You parked at an unmarked pay and display (PAD) bay.
  2. You parked in a loading bay or car park that didn't clearly say 'no parking'.
  3. You parked on double yellow lines. This is illegal and could result in your car being clamped.
  4. You parked over the time limit at a metre or within the pay and display zone.
  5. Your parking ticket was issued for an expired metre, either because you paid for too short a period of time or didn't pay enough money to cover your parking time.

How to Pay a Parking Fine in Hounslow

After a PCN is issued, it is recommended that you pay the fine as quickly as possible.

If you can't afford the full penalty amount immediately, however, then contact your council and explain that you need time to pay.

You are allowed fourteen days to pay your fine, and if you pay within this period of time, the fine is reduced by 25%. If in any case, you feel that you shouldn't pay the fine, you can follow the London Borough of Hounslow PCN appeal process to contest.

DoNotPay can also check if the PCN was issued within the acceptable time frame since the date of the offence. This way, you are guaranteed that the PCN is valid and not issued past the deadline.
