BARNSLEY Council have raked in more than £380,000 in parking fines since 2020 - with thousands of tickets handed out in the first half of last year.
Statistics, revealed through a Freedom of Information request, show that 2,212 penalty charge notices handed out by Barnsley Council in the six months to June 2022 - equivalent to 12 each day.
This was a fall from 20 per day across the whole of 2021 - although seasonal variations and Covid-19 lockdowns may have contributed.
The figures also show the council brought in £60,731 in revenue in the first half of 2022 from penalty charge notices - or £337 a day.
This was a fall from £448 a day across the whole of 2021.
The figures further show £381,591 has been collected by Barnsley Council from parking tickets from the start of 2020 to June 2022.
