GEORGE OSBORNE OPENS NEW TRAFFIC PENALY OFFICE

George Osborne MP has officially opened the offices of the Traffic Penalty Tribunal, which relocated from Manchester city centre to Wilmslow in May.

The Traffic Penalty Tribunal is an independent body which considers appeals by motorists against parking tickets (Penalty Charge Notices) and bus lane Penalty Charge Notices issued by local authorities across England and Wales.

The Tribunal employs 22 administrative staff at its Wilmslow Offices and has 32 adjudicators (barristers or solicitors) who consider appeals. They work remotely across England and Wales undertaking hearings that can take place based on the written submissions of both parties (the council who issued the ticket and the motorist who received it), in person with both parties at various venues across the country or via telephone hearing
