Parking fines in Midlothian will go up to £100 from April to help the council meet a £100,000 income generation included in its budget for the coming year.
A meeting of councillors this morning agreed to dozens of increases in fees across its services as part of their efforts to plug a multimillion pound budget gap.
And it was revealed elected members had set a target of £100,000 of income to be raised through parking penalties as part of their efforts to bring in cash.
