London Councils has published data on this year’s parking and enforcement appeals

by London-TV in Business

The figures show that London boroughs and TfL issued 5,616,402 penalty charge notices (PCNs) for parking and moving traffic contraventions in 2017/18.

PCNs are issued by London boroughs and TfL when drivers fail to follow the rules of the road. Enforcement is necessary to incentivise a small minority of drivers to travel and park in a safe and considerate manner, as the vast majority of drivers do.

The overall number of PCNs issued increased this year by almost 10 per cent compared to last year.

Cllr Julian Bell, Chair of London Councils’ Transport and Environment Committee, said:”The management of traffic and parking in London is an essential service, provided by London’s boroughs and TfL, which keeps London moving.

“All PCN income goes towards paying for the provision of essential traffic and parking services, with any surplus funding invested in other important transport projects.”
