Following a determination by the London Councils Transport and Environment Committee, the Mayor of London and the Secretary of State for Transport have approved an increase of £30 in penalty charges to take effect in the London boroughs from 7 April 2025.
On and off street parking and moving traffic penalties at the higher rate will increase from £130 to £160 and parking penalties at the lower rate will increase from £80 to £110.
A discount of 50 per cent will apply to the above charges if the charge is paid within the 14-day period set out in legislation.
The fees for vehicle removal, clamp, storage and disposal will also increase to: £280 to release from the pound; £55 storage (per day), release from clamp £100, disposal fee £100.
Parking penalties
If you are charged with a parking penalty, the fee you pay will depend on how serious the parking contravention is.
There are two levels of charges:
- higher charge for parking and moving traffic contraventions that cause major disruption and danger to pedestrians and other road users
- lower charge for less serious contraventions
The roads in the borough are classified as Band A for on-street and off-street contraventions:
| More serious (as defined by Appendix 1) | Less serious (as defined by Appendix 2) | |
|---|---|---|
| Borough roads - Band A | £160 | £110 |
We will apply a discount of 50 per cent if you pay your fee within 14 days from the date of issue of the penalty charge notice.
Higher level and Lower level penalty charge parking contraventions can be viewed on the London Councils website.
The parking contravention code descriptions apply to all London boroughs and may include reference to contravention details and suffixes that do not apply in this borough.
