Dundee’s biggest pavement parking offenders and the worst streets for fines have been revealed – a year after the rules were introduced.
Since February 2024, drivers who park their vehicles on pavements, double park or block dropped kerbs can be fined £100.
Now The Courier has obtained data through Freedom of Information, showing the number of fines issued, the most prolific street and the motorists who have received the most tickets in the first year.
It shows one driver has been hit with 13 fines for breaking the rules in just 12 months.
