Paying and appealing parking tickets

The council's parking services staff maintain ticket machines and meters as well as the signs and infrastructure of on and off-street car parking. They also ensure that parking bays are always available and safe to use and handle enquiries.

Paying a parking ticket

You can pay your parking ticket:

  • by credit/debit card
  • in person - you should take your payment and car park fine ticket to any of your council's Customer Services Offices
  • by cheque 
  • by postal order

You may be able to pay your parking ticket online. To find out if your local council offers this facility visit their website using the links below or contact them directly.

Appealing against a parking ticket

If you wish to dispute your ticket and still have it you should contact your local council. If you wish to dispute your ticket on the basis of circumstances you feel are beyond your control or because you are a Disabled Badge Holder, you should also contact your local council.

While considering your appeal the council will freeze the deadline date to pay until they respond. If your dispute is unsuccessful the council will expect payment within a specified number of days from the date of their response.
