Low Traffic Neighbourhoods intend to reduce through traffic in residential areas
(Picture: Newham Council)Almost 7.5 million penalty tickets were issued to drivers in London last year, fuelled by a huge increase in those caught breaking the rules in low traffic neighbourhoods or school streets.
The total number of parking tickets and penalty fines, which cost up to £160, rose by 2.2 million on the previous year — a jump of 41 per cent to 7,472,886.
