EXCLUSIVE: Lichfield and Burntwood’s parking ticket hotspots have been revealed.
Since the introduction of APCOA parking wardens in March, 3,300 parking tickets have been issued to drivers across the region – meaning almost 23 tickets are handed out every day.
And now a breakdown of figures has highlighted exactly where wardens have been catching drivers.
In the period April 1 to August 24 this year, 2,167 tickets were issued by wardens in Lichfield District Council car parks for offences including parking outside a designated bay and parking at a bus stop, with the remainder being dished out for on-street parking misdemeanours.
The figures also show that 295 people have been ticketed for parking in a disabled bay without displaying a blue badge.
The introduction of the wardens has proved controversial, but the figures show nuisance parkers are being caught, particularly in Lichfield city centre.
Bird Street car park is where the most tickets have been issued (514), while 222 drivers have returned to a ticket on Bore Street.
Our map below highlights the full range of hotspots for parking tickets.
