Hundreds of parking fines are going unpaid in Renfrewshire each year - sparking calls for the council to review its policy.
The local authority handed out 3759 tickets last year but 521 were not settled by the driver, figures have revealed.Unpaid fines have been a long running problem, with 216 outstanding in 2020-21, on top of 1034 in 2019-20, 1583 in 2018-19 and 1166 in 2017-18.
“Some might be impossible to enforce, but others we might be able to enforce and we need to understand, is it a lack of enforcement officers, are the courts jammed up, where are we? A raft of fines are also overturned each year, including 147 in the last year, 42 in 2020-21, 187 in 2019-20, 626 in 2018-19 and 382 in 2017-18.
