In our last post, we exposed how sales of visitor vouchers at £4 each have collapsed. The Council is therefore making much less money from CPZ permit and voucher sales than it had forecast.
But there is one area of parking revenue that is surging. Parking fines! Not surprisingly, many people are refusing to pay £4 for what may just be a few minutes of parking. Barnet Council is now routinely issuing one thousand more parking tickets each week compared with the previous year.
Unbelievably, this financial year Barnet Council has issued more parking tickets than it has sold visitor vouchers!
