Appeal a parking fine

If you think that a parking fine has been wrongly issued, you have 28 days to challenge from the date the fine was issued.

How do I appeal?

All challenges must be put in writing. Under no circumstances will an appeal be accepted verbally or in person. 

Please ensure that you include the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) number and submit your appeal by:

Letter

You can appeal by sending a letter to:

Parking Enforcement
Solihull Council
Council House

What happens next?

After investigation of your case, we will then respond in writing, either cancelling the fine, or identifying that there were not proper grounds for cancellation.

After we've received your appeal we'll provide our response within 56 days.
