Councils make millions from parking machines that don't give change

The RAC Foundation has called for councils to stop ripping motorists off, after it emerged that they are making up to £38 million by installing pay-and-display parking machines that don't offer change. The motorists' group revealed that councils in England charged a staggering £1.4 billion for parking between 2012 and 2013 - making £594 million profit. Further analysis emerged that £38 million of it could come from machines that don't offer change.

And this is far from the only recent outrageous parking decision.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
