Council Fine Check- Code
- 06
- Type
- On-street parking
- Level
- Lower level

- On-street parking enforced by the council (and TfL on red routes).

Photos through the windscreen showing no ticket.
Points to check before you pay
- If the ticket fell face down or off the dash, send the ticket itself.
- If you paid by app, send the session confirmation.
If one of these applies, the usual statutory ground is that the contravention did not occur. Other grounds (not the owner, stolen vehicle, already paid, wrong amount, procedural impropriety) apply whatever the code. The checker shows which fit your case.
How much is a code 06 PCN?
Outside London, councils charge lower level contraventions at £40 or £50 depending on their band, halved if paid early (SI 2022/71, Sch 3). In London it is £110 (Band A) or £90 (Band B) from 7 April 2025 (London Councils). Wales sets its own levels: check your PCN.
Questions
What does PCN code 06 mean?
Parked without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket or voucher. No valid ticket could be seen in the windscreen. (PATROL notes this is higher level in Wales.)
Is code 06 a higher or lower level contravention?
It is a lower level parking contravention, so it is charged at the council's lower rate.
