We issued a request under the Freedom of Information Act to more than 400 local authorities across the UK, asking for the number of penalty charge notices issued and the total income councils made from PCNs broken down by year. Figures revealed that 9,301,319 PCNs were issued in 2018, enabling councils to make £326,009,560.76 in income from PCNs.

The Fighting Unfair Fines map allows you to explore our research. You can see which regions are the worst for issuing PCNs and receiving the highest income and see the worst locations for each region.
