Massive surge in parking fines 'due to better tech', says London council
Briefly

The council's increased penalties reflect tighter enforcement and better technology, which has doubling fines in Ealing, highlighting the need for drivers to stay vigilant.
In 2023, Ealing Council issued 89,618 penalty charge notices (PCNs), which resulted in 3.3 million in revenue from drivers, showing a significant rise from the past year.
Parking fine issuance increased by 158 percent, indicating intensified enforcement, particularly with the use of automatic number plate recognition to monitor violations.
The council attributes the rise in fines to more control over parking zones and efficient monitoring, while the impact of recent industrial actions has been minimal.
