UK capital for illegally parked supercars REVEALED- with 1.4M tickets dished out

A POSH London borough is the Brit capital for illegally parked super cars.

Westminster, home to Buckingham Palace, is littered with dodgily-parked Bugattis, Rolls Royces, Lamborghinis and Bentleys.

Westminster Council handed out more than 1.4million parking tickets in the five years between 2016 and 2021 – three times as many as Cardiff Council.

Flash motors are also parked inconsiderately there in their droves.

Over the last six years, the borough collected a whopping 81 per cent of the entire country’s fines on wallet-busting Bugattis.

The borough also had 71 per cent of fines for Rollers, 64 per cent on Lambos, 36 per cent on Astons and 46 per cent on Bentleys.

A Westminster Council spokesperson said: “Westminster is home to a large number of supercars.

“And owning a luxury or high-performance vehicle does not offer an exemption from our parking rules.

“The council has acted following complaints from residents and business owners about these vehicles parking illegally and in an inconsiderate manner.”

It follows 428 Freedom of Information requests uncovering more than 22.5 million pieces of data from 141 councils.

It means Westminster Council makes up for seven per cent of fines across 141 UK councils – with 88 per cent more charges than the average individual council.

This is despite Westminster, covering an area of 21km square, accounting for less than 0.09 per cent of the country’s landmass.

Westminster’s Parking Service is the largest troop in Europe, providing over 47,000 parking spaces and patrolling 1,990 streets and 600 miles of kerbside.

The number of fines given out is only exceeded by fines collected in the entire city of Manchester.

Councils invest surplus funds from fines into council schemes such as transport for children and adults in social services.

It exceeds those of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast, alongside the counties of Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire and Cornwall.

Westminster council was reported to make £140 a minute last year in parking fines, taking in £74.4million from charges in 2019-20.
