The number of parking fines issued by private parking companies has skyrocketed since they successfully challenged a Conservative bill three years ago that enacted a proper code of practice for handing out fines. Private parking firms issued a record 14.4 million tickets last year as motorists urged the government to crack down on the bandit practice.

A technical error caused fines to be incorrectly issued to theatregoers who had paid to park at Billet Lane in February, leading to over a quarter being cancelled.
