Known as penalty charge notices (PCNs), these fines are issued to motorists for various parking violations, ranging from overstaying in pay-and-display bays to parking on double yellow lines. A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that income from PCNs rose from nearly £780,000 in the 2020/21 financial year to over £1.5 million by 2025/26.
