Knowsley Council has decided to extend a loss making parking enforcement contract despite it losing the council money.
According to a report published on the council’s website, its contract with APCOA Parking UK Ltd for for parking enforcement services, as well as contracts with Jacobs and Equita for enforcement and debt recovery, will be extended until May next year amid “uncertainty” over the council’s plans for Huyton.
This is despite the parking contract currently running at a deficit of £15k instead of generating the £4.7k surplus it was planned to make.
