How to appeal a parking ticket
In 2014/15, local councils made £693m profit from parking fines across the UK. That’s not the turnover – it’s what was left after the costs had been paid of issuing the estimated 10 million or so tickets issued. Top of the league table was Westminster, which made over £46m profit on its own. With one in three of us likely to get a ticket each year, there’s a good chance you’re going to find this week’s blog very useful, as we’ll guide you through how to appeal against a parking ticket. However, this article does not constitute legal advice, so if in doubt call in the experts. What you shouldn’t do is be deterred from appealing against a parking ticket if you think it was issued unfairly. Around 57% of drivers who appeal against a ticket end up winning their case – but don’t appeal if you’re just miffed that you got caught breaking the rules.
