Pay or challenge a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)
About your PCN
From 1 April 2023 Apcoa will no longer be responsible for enforcement in Cherwell District Council car parks. This will now be undertaken by Oxford County Council (OCC) by way of an agency agreement. They in turn will sub-contract out enforcement to a company called Conduent.
If you have a PCN issued after 31 March 2023 you can pay your fine online.
If you believe your penalty charge notice was wrongly issued, you can appeal against a parking fine. Do not pay the charge if you wish to contest it as challenges cannot be accepted if you have already paid.

On receipt of your PCN you must either:
- Pay the parking fine on or before the end of the 28 day period as shown on the PCN, or
- Request a challenge the parking fine.
A 50 per cent reduction of the parking fine is applied in each case provided payment is received by CDC or the Authorised Agent (as indicated on the PCN) not later than the last day of the period of 14 days beginning with the date on which it was served.
