Appeal a parking or bus lane fine

If you think that a parking or bus lane 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 in writing. 

We will not accept an appeal verbally or in person. 

Appeal against a Penalty Charge Notice

Letter

Please ensure that you include your Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) number.

You can appeal by sending a letter to:

Parking Enforcement
Solihull Council
Council House
Solihull
B91 3QB

What happens next?

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

After investigating your case we will then respond in writing, either:

• cancelling the fine
• identifying that there were not proper grounds for cancellation

What do I do if my appeal was unsuccessful?

1. If your appeal was received by us within 14 days of the PCN issue date for a parking fine, or 21 days for a bus lane fine, the option to pay at the discounted rate will be held until a decision is made. You then have 14 days to pay at the discounted rate.
2. If your appeal was received by us after 14 days of the PCN issue date, you will need to pay the full amount.
3. You can appeal to the independent adjudicator, the Traffic Penalty Tribunal (TPT) using the 'Notice of Appeal' which we will include with your letter.
