Council chiefs have defended their car parking management and ticket revenues, after research showed a 6% increase in the number of car parking attendants employed by councils since 2008 coincided with a 17% reduction in available free spaces.
In response to a survey on car parking, conducted by insurance firm, LV, Cllr Tony Ball, vice chair of the Local Government Association's economy and transport board, said: ‘There isn't space in town and city centres to keep creating more parking spaces.'
