Persistent evader
We define persistent evaders as people with three or more penalty charge notices, none of which are either subject to an appeal or at a stage where an appeal can be made.
Persistent evaders can also be people with three or more PCNs who have not registered their vehicle with the DVLA. Under these circumstances, we can cancel your permit.
Should a persistent evader continue to contravene parking restrictions, they will be issued a penalty charge notice in proportion to the contravention and their vehicle may be immediately removed.
Penalty charges issued to a vehicle that remains unpaid may result in the following:
- the vehicle being removed on each occasion it is observed illegally parked
- Enforcement action through the Courts which will allow the vehicle to be seized by Enforcement Agents (Bailiffs) against the owner of the vehicle
