Parking wardens to tone down approach

The Department of Transport have released a consultation paper which urges local authorities to develop new ways to educate drivers against inconsiderate and illegal parking. They suggest that Parking wardens tone down the current trend to ticket every motorist and that they try to put forward a friendly face to the public.

The paper goes so far as to order against setting targets for the number of tickets issued or funds raised through fines.Parking enforcement across the UK brought in more than £1billion in 2005. Costs range from around £50 for a parking fine to approximately £200 to recover a car that has been towed away.
