Council in Black Country among the worst for parking losses
Dudley Council has one of the most costly parking services in England after making a loss of more than a million pounds.
Figures from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities show in the last financial year the authority ended up with a deficit of £1.17m from its car parks.
This puts Dudley miles behind neighbouring councils and last-but-one in the department’s league of losses, ahead of only Tees Valley Combined Authority who lost nearly £4m.
Sandwell made a whopping £943,000 surplus and collected £905,000 in fines while Wolverhampton’s parking service was £697,000 in the green and took £342,000 in fines.
