About Wandsworth PCNs
Wandsworth issues PCNs in two ways: civil enforcement officers who fix the ticket to the car or hand it over, and CCTV operators who review footage, after which the PCN is posted to the registered keeper using DVLA details. Officers cover every road in the borough except the red routes, which TfL enforces itself.
The council publishes a list of its static CCTV camera sites, grouped by area (Putney and Roehampton, Battersea, Earlsfield, Clapham Junction, Tooting, Balham and Furzedown), last updated in February 2026. It covers junctions along Garratt Lane, Putney High Street and Mitcham Road among many others, though the list does not say which contravention each camera enforces.
Wandsworth's guidance on informal challenges is specific. You can challenge an on-street PCN, or a bus lane PCN, informally in writing within 14 days of issue, and if the challenge arrives within that discount period and is rejected, the council re-offers the discount. Informal challenges are not available for other CCTV PCNs: for those, follow the formal representation process explained on the notice. The council also warns that paying closes the case, so do not pay if you intend to challenge.
How to challenge a Wandsworth PCN
- Check the deadline. A camera PCN sent by post gets a 50% discount if paid within 14 days; representations are normally due within 28 days of the notice being served.
- Make representations to the council using its online challenge form. Quote the PCN number and the grounds that apply.
- If rejected, appeal to London Tribunals within 28 days of the Notice of Rejection. The adjudicator is independent of Wandsworth.
London penalty levels from 7 April 2025: Band A £160/£110, Band B £140/£90; bus lane and moving traffic £160 (London Councils).
Questions
