How to Contest Parking Tickets In Northern Ireland

Imagine walking briskly towards your car, only to find a yellow envelope tucked under the windshield wipers. You open it and see the dreaded words, "Parking Ticket." Chances are you've been there before. In Northern Ireland, parking fines account for a sizable chunk of municipalities' revenue. For instance, in Belfast, parking tickets generated £2.8 million in revenue in 2016-17 — a 3% increase from the year before. Fortunately, help is at hand! If you happen to have received parking tickets in Northern Ireland, DoNotPay can help.

DoNotPay has now expanded its virtual services to help you dispute Northern Ireland parking tickets.
