Share your views on our proposal to change the Bands of parking Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) across the borough.

We currently have two types of PCN tariff charges that fall under Band A and Band B

To create a uniform approach, we want to bring all parking PCN tariffs under Band A, so everyone pays the same amount when receiving a PCN

The change will aim to:

- discourage drives from parking illegally

- better protect kerb space for residents

- positively contribute to traffic management in the borough
