Parking Offences: Fines
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate she has made of the number of private parking charge notices issued in each of the last five years.
Answered by Department for Transport
Data published by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) on vehicle keeper requests, known as Keeper at Date of Event (KADOE) data, provides a proxy for the volume of parking charges issued. This shows a sustained increase over time, from 1.9 million requests in 2012 to over 15 million in the year to September 2025.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government does not hold data on the number of unfair private parking charge notices issued in each of the last five years.
