The changes were approved by London Councils, The Mayor
for London and Central Government in response to a London-wide
public consultation.
Changes to On-Street Parking Penalty Notice Charges
(Issued by a Civil Enforcement Officer or with CCTV
evidence)
Previously, all on-street parking contraventions in Newham carried
a charge of £80. But now the amount you are charged depends on the
type of contravention you make - a serious contravention or a less
serious contravention.
Serious contravention
Some examples:
- Parked on single/double yellow lines
- Parked in a disabled bay without a valid permit / blue
badge
- Parked where parking, waiting or loading/unloading is
prohibited
- Parked with one or more wheels on the footway
A new penalty charge notice level of £100 will apply to all
'serious' contraventions. You can reduce the charge to £50 by
paying within 14 days.
Less serious contravention
Some examples:
- Over-stayed in a Pay & Display bay
- Not parked correctly within the markings of a bay
- Re-parked in the same parking space within one hour of
leaving
A new penalty charge notice level of £60 will apply to 'less
serious' contraventions. You can reduce the charge to £30 by paying
within 14 days.
Bus Lanes
As part of the review of parking charges, London Councils and
The Mayor for London have increased the penalty charge for driving
in a bus lane.
A new penalty charge notice level of £120 has been set.
You can reduce the charge to £60 by paying within 14 days.
(The previous charge was £100)
Moving Traffic (yellow box junctions; school
keep clear markings; banned turns and restricted entry signs)
A new penalty charge notice level of £120 has been set.
You can reduce the charge to £60 by paying within 14 days.

Vehicle Removal and Storage Costs
As with parking penalty charge notices, the charges for vehicle
removal and storage are set by London Councils and the Mayor for
London.
The new removal charge is £200 and the daily storage charge
£40.
(The previous charge for vehicle removal was £150 and the daily
storage charge £25)
