People who pick up fines could find that their car insurance policies go up, as cover firms could consider drivers with prior convictions a risk on the road and increase costs.
"Norwich City Council has seen a considerable rise in motorists parking legally which has led to a downturn in revenue from fines," said Lynette Day, council spokeswoman.
This comes as a report in the South Wales Evening Post has stated that over 15,000 parking tickets were issued to Llanelli drivers by wardens in the past three years - bringing in hundreds of thousands in revenue for officials at Carmarthenshire Council.
