New research has revealed an overwhelming consensus amongst UK local authorities on the need to review and raise parking penalty charges to make them a more effective deterrent.
As many as 91 per cent of local authorities agree that the current penalty charge level outside of London is not high enough, to deter or discourage irresponsible rule-breaking, especially where parking is not allowed.
The British Parking Association research shows that councils also want greater consistency between the level of parking penalty charges in London and those outside the capital, including other major cities and urban areas.
Separate data from a leading car park operator, found that a proposed reduction of the parking charge level in the private sector would lead to an insufficient deterrent. This is expected to result in an increase in rule breaches and more parking charge notices being issued in privately operated car parks.
Andrew Pester, BPA chief executive, said: “The findings of this survey reinforces the urgent need to review and raise penalty charges everywhere to encourage compliance with the parking rules. We will continue to work closely with government as well as calling for effective deterrents to inconsiderate parking both on public roads and in private car parks.”
