Parking fines in East Ayrshire are set to rise to £100.
The council’s cabinet this week agreed to increase the Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) value following national guidance issued by Scottish Ministers on the revised levels that can be charged for parking contraventions. From August 1 the charge will rise from £60 to £100.
Motorists receive a PCN when they fail to comply with parking regulations, and most are issued in relation to parking restrictions that have been introduced to support road safety such as double yellow lines and school keep clear markings, accessibility (disabled parking bays), and local business activity (loading bays).
