tickets, worth millions of pounds, were issued over a two-year period by councils and police forces which had ferry terminals, ports and other transport hubs in or near their area.
Responding to a freedom of information request, the councils revealed that thousands of parking tickets issued to foreign-registered vehicles had to be written off because they were unable to trace the drivers.
Between July 2007 and October 2010, Westminster City Council wrote off 45,437 tickets worth £3.08m, with £3.2m still owed, while Portsmouth City Council wrote off £110,965 in parking fines between April 2008 and October 2010.
Newcastle was close behind, revealing £84,470 in unpaid tickets had been written off between April 2008 and December 2010.:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text. Copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
