A city centre car park remains Newcastle’s worst parking fine hotspot, new figures have revealed.
Just under 2,500 parking penalty charge notices (PCNs) were issued at the Dean Street multi-storey car park (MSCP) in 12 months, more than anywhere else in Newcastle. Other popular multi-storeys at Grainger Town, Eldon Square, the Quayside, St James’ Park, and Eldon Garden also feature among the top 10 locations for parking tickets in the city in the 2021/22 financial year, according to Newcastle City Council data.
The figures, obtained through a freedom of information request, confirm that there were 61,168 PCNs issued across Newcastle in the year – totalling £1.7m worth of toll payments to the local authority.
