Parking Offences: Fines
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to review the level of Penalty Charge Notices for parking offences outside London.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Department for Transport recognises that there is a published report from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council, following its August 2025 trial of higher PCN levels, as well as research carried out by the British Parking Association, the Local Government Association and other key stakeholders. The Department is looking into the issue and these findings and recommendations will be carefully considered before any decisions are taken.
