Can I appeal against the issue of a Fixed Penalty Notice?

If you have received a Fixed Penalty Notice that you think was issued incorrectly, you must appeal in writing within 14 days of the issue of the Notice. You must include the serial number of the Notice and the grounds on which you contest the Notice. Your case will be strengthened if you can provide documentary evidence to support your appeal.

You may appeal on-line by completing an online form.
