Now comes news that the 1 mile long George Street had 20,000 parking tickets in 2004 garnering £900,000.
Almost £15.8m was raked in during the 12 months to April 2003 in fines, meter charges and permits compared to the £8.24m in the year up until April 1999, the first year the "Blue Meanies" took over parking regulation from the police.
