Parking ticket charges

Due to public demand all London local authorities have implemented a new two-tiered system, which has been divided up into more serious (higher) or less serious (lower) contraventions.

Higher penalties issued for more serious contraventions such as parking at bus stops, on pedestrian crossings, on yellow lines or in the safety zones outside schools. Lower penalties will be given for less serious contraventions such as overstaying in a parking meter.

The decision on whether contravention should be classified as more or less serious and attract the higher or lower charge was based on the views expressed through the public consultation carried out by London Councils on behalf of the London local authorities.

Please note: The local authority did not set the charges for each band, this was set by London Councils and then approved by the Mayor.

There are two different bands for all London authorities with the majority of Hounslow coming under band B.

Below is a table showing the different charges for both higher and lower contravention for Band B:
