Double check your parking ticket before paying

We have had some reports of fake parking tickets (PCNs) left on vehicles in Islington and neighbouring boroughs.

If you get a PCN, please check:

  • it has the Islington Council logo, crest and 'for a more equal future' in the top-right on the front
  • the back has instructions on how to pay including the web address islington.gov.uk/pcnpay - if you use this, you will see a green band at the top with our logo
  • the back also tells you how to challenge a PCN
  • it has a detachable slip that says "do not pay the civil enforcement officer"

Our PCNs do not have a QR code that you scan with your phone camera to pay. Do not scan any QR code on a PCN.

Carer permits

As a carer for an Islington resident you may be eligible to purchase a carer permit.

Applicants do not need to live in Islington to apply for a carer permit.

We ask that you take a carer needs assessment so that any other support needs you may have as a carer can be looked at. These are carried out by social care services. Once your carer needs assessment has been completed, you can apply for a carer permit.

  • Carer permit costs are the same as a resident parking permit and allows you to park with the same terms and conditions. Prices are based on the CO2 emissions (or battery size if electric) of your vehicle as shown in the residents permit costs table.
  • Carers are exempt from the diesel surcharge.
  • Carers who use a motorcycle can also apply for a motorcycle permit at the same price as residents.
