What happens to all the money collected by the council from parking fines?
Most of the income from Penalty Charge Notice (“Parking Fines”) is used to pay for the costs of enforcement. These include the costs of employing the Parking Attendants, the administration staff involved in collecting the fines, maintenance of signs and lines and other associated costs. Any surplus after the costs have been paid, has to be used towards the improvement of on-street or off-street parking facilities, measures to improve public transport or other highway associated improvements.
