Zeag - Parking Solutions for Local Government
114 of the 386 local authorities raise more from parking charges than from council tax. Overall, service revenue is over £10.8bn - almost half as much as council tax revenues (£22.4bn) according to a 2006 survey by the Audit Commission.
"With pressures on public finances and rising expectations, councils should look at better use of charging to imporve outcomes for local people" says Michael O'Higgins, chairman of the commission. Basically, if councils are to keep council tax rises to a minimum in the face of rising demands by central government they must maximise their parking revenues.
