What a Enfield code 06 PCN means for you

You have received a penalty charge notice from Enfield with contravention code 06. In plain English, this means the council considers that you parked without clearly displaying a valid pay & display ticket or voucher.

The legal basis for this PCN is the parking enforcement scheme, backed by a traffic regulation order (TRO or TMO) that Enfield must have properly made and signed. Without a valid order and compliant signage, the restriction is not enforceable.

To challenge this PCN, you can make formal representations to Enfield. If the council rejects your representations, you have the right to appeal to London Tribunals. The adjudicator's decision is independent and binding on the council.
