It was recently revealed that overpayments for parking fees across various council-run car parks totalled £5,578.35 between September 2019 and August 2020.

The parking machines at these council-owned car parks do not offer change so drivers must have the correct money if paying by cash. When they don't the excess paid is banked by the machine.

This figure is likely to fall, however, with the introduction of contactless and mobile phone payment.
