247 Parking unconditionally supports the enlightened decision of Camden Council to pay back around £134,000 in parking fines collected from drivers who parked on single yellow lines on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Traditionally motorists have been allowed to park on single yellow lines in Camden during Bank Holidays. This year, Camden Council changed its policy at the last minute, making only a small posting on the council’s website to inform drivers of the policy change. Traffic Wardens then dished out an impressive 1,119 fines on Good Friday and Easter Monday, giving rise to a deluge of complaints.

The council claimed that they were merely enforcing normal traffic regulations and that it was a discretionary gesture of goodwill not to issue parking tickets to cars parked on single yellow lines on Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday.

“It was an outrageous grab for cash, but thankfully they’ve done the right thing and agreed to pay everyone back,” says 247 Parking MD Julia Callan. “And we hear that they will not be enforcing single yellow line restrictions for the Bank Holiday on May 3.”
