PARKING CONTRAVENTIONS - LOWER BAND
Differential Penalties
Because of the perceived unfairness of receiving the same penalty regardless of the seriousness of the contravention, the Secretary of State has agreed that enforcement authorities must apply different parking penalties to different contraventions.
There are currently two bands - Higher and Lower Parking Contraventions:
