About Enfield PCNs

Enfield is unusually open about its cameras. Its CCTV enforcement page lists every fixed camera by type, with the date it started issuing PCNs: bus lanes along Green Lanes, Hertford Road and Bullsmoor Lane since 2014 and 2015, box junctions from Carterhatch Lane to High Street N14, banned turns, one-way streets, no entry points, the Bowes and Fox Lane low traffic neighbourhoods, more than 25 school streets, two bus gates and the Bull Lane bus gate, width restrictions and keep-left signs. Those dates are worth checking against your PCN.

For the Bull Lane bus gate on Cycleway 1, the council says signs went up on 29 August 2023, warning notices were sent from that date and PCNs from 5 September 2023, and it publishes the enforcement plan and traffic order.

Appeals go online or by post to NSL Limited, which handles Enfield's PCNs; if you have lost your PCN number, email pcnappeals@enfield.gov.uk. Enfield says an appeal puts the case on hold until a decision, that paying closes the case, and that a removed vehicle must be released before you can appeal. It lists the evidence it expects for common points, such as a copy of the Blue Badge, permit or pay and display ticket that was not displayed properly. The new London charges apply to PCNs issued from 7 April 2025; earlier PCNs keep the old £130 and £80 levels.

How to challenge a Enfield PCN

  1. 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.
  2. Make representations to the council using its online challenge form or by post to NSL Limited, PO Box 65732, Enfield N13 9BL. Quote the PCN number and the grounds that apply.
  3. If rejected, appeal to London Tribunals within 28 days of the Notice of Rejection. The adjudicator is independent of Enfield.

London penalty levels from 7 April 2025: Band A £160/£110, Band B £140/£90; bus lane and moving traffic £160 (London Councils).
