The Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers patrol the City to deter drivers from committing parking contraventions and to keep Cardiff moving.
There are also mobile CCTV units which complement our on-street Officers in problem areas where traditional enforcement methods may not be appropriate.
Any vehicles found to be parking in contravention of Cardiff’s parking regulations will be issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).
The penalty will either be £50.00 or £70.00 depending on the type of contravention. This will be reduced by 50% if paid within 14 days.
If you receive a PCN then you must decide whether to
pay the penalty or whether
to appeal.
What happens if I ignore the PCN?
If you ignore the PCN then the penalty will increase and the Council will apply to have the outstanding amount registered with the Traffic Enforcement Centre as a debt, which will then become recoverable as if it were payable under a county court order.
Further legal costs will be incurred.
