About Bromley PCNs
Bromley's advice is not to pay if you want to dispute a PCN. Its online appeal service lets you pick from common reasons and shows the council's policy on each, the likely outcome and the evidence it expects, which is worth reading before you decide. You can usually view photos and challenge online within 24 hours of the PCN being issued, or write to its Uxbridge PO box with the PCN number, registration and your full name and address.
The route depends on how the PCN reached you. A parking PCN handed out by an officer, or a bus lane PCN posted after CCTV, can be challenged informally first. A parking or moving traffic PCN sent by post (after CCTV, or because the officer couldn't serve it) goes straight to formal representations. If a challenge or representation received within the discount period fails, Bromley extends the discount and its reply confirms this. Once a Charge Certificate has been issued, the council says it is too late to challenge or make representations.
Bromley gives examples of the evidence it needs: a hospital or GP letter for a medical emergency (a routine appointment card isn't enough), or recovery documents for a breakdown, where it expects the car to be moved within 24 hours. If formal representations are rejected, the Notice of Rejection gives 28 days to pay or appeal to London Tribunals; if the adjudicator refuses, you have 28 days from that decision to pay.
How to challenge a Bromley PCN
- Check the deadline. A camera PCN sent by post gets a 50% discount if paid within 14 days; representations are normally due within 28 days of the notice being served.
- Make representations to the council using its online challenge form or by post to Parking (appeals), PO Box 1166, Wellington House, Uxbridge UB8 9BD. Quote the PCN number and the grounds that apply.
- If rejected, appeal to London Tribunals within 28 days of the Notice of Rejection. The adjudicator is independent of Bromley.
