Steps to Cancel the Ticket:

1) Contact the Parking Company Immediately: Locate the contact details on the Parking Charge Notice (PCN) and inform them that the individual named is deceased.

2) Provide Proof: Send a copy of the death certificate. It is highly recommended to do this immediately to prevent the debt from escalating or being passed to a debt collection agency.

3) Use Official Channels: If the operator is a member of the British Parking Association (BPA) or International Parking Community (IPC), they are obligated to follow a code of practice which often includes compassionate consideration.

4) Appeal to the Landowner: If the parking company refuses to cancel the ticket, complain directly to the landowner (e.g., supermarket, hospital management, or residential agent).

I have contacted PALS and they told me that I have to Appeal the case first before contacting PALs

No wonder ... £55 milion annually !!! They are not bothered by few that appeals..

Key Insights from 2025 Information:

High Volume: Lambeth issued around 363,926 PCNs in 2023-24, indicating substantial enforcement.

Revenue: PCNs generate significant income for Lambeth, with council reports mentioning figures around £55 million annually by late 2025, suggesting high payment/non-cancellation rates.

Contract Overspend: In December 2025, Lambeth approved extra funds for parking contracts, partly due to increased enforcement and postage, implying more PCNs were issued and processed.

New Charges: From April 2025, London boroughs, including Lambeth, increased PCN charges, aiming to improve deterrence and potentially increasing revenue.

Where to Find Specific Data:


Lambeth Council Website: Look for "Parking Annual Reports," "Traffic & Parking Performance Data," or "Freedom of Information (FOI) Responses" for detailed statistics on appeals, cancellations, and payments for 2025.
London Tribunals: They provide statistics on appeals, which can give insight into cancellations.

While exact 2025 numbers aren't public yet (as it's early 2026), trends show Lambeth issues many PCNs, collects substantial revenue, and faced rising enforcement costs, suggesting a high rate of paid/unappealed notices.

Good morning
Swept through by Covid (yes it is still around)

@Hippocrates

I have received a letter from Tribunal must had arrived yesterday afternoon ...
Post at my place always delays.







nothing from Lambeth, no change on the website



I have to send everything to arrive at the Tribunal by 17th (with in 1 week) ... by post

Is it just going into a loop?


Seems the council is just trying to stay unreasonable and make people to get fed up and pay

Unfair rejection hmm

Thanks @Enceladus for your swift reply.

Seems everything is taking longer than mentioned at each of the stages

I assume I need to wait for another post / any update on the website.

Will the fee be stated at £130?
I do not wish to pay £130 as it would have been at £65...
I contacted them the next day I received the PCN!
and after all this confusing stuff whilst having to deal with post concussion brain issue...

I went into the street many times and never noticed the sigh until I received the PCN as the sign is not facing to the direction I was approaching from.

Thank you so much for all your help.
