How much is a code 95 PCN?
Outside London, councils charge lower level contraventions at £40 or £50 depending on their band, halved if paid early (SI 2022/71, Sch 3). In London it is £110 (Band A) or £90 (Band B) from 7 April 2025 (London Councils). Wales sets its own levels: check your PCN.
Questions
What does PCN code 95 mean?
Parked in a parking place for a purpose other than that designated. Using a space for a purpose it is not for (for example a coach space as storage).

It is a lower level parking contravention, so it is charged at the council's lower rate.
