Parking fines in Angus will rise to £100 within days.
Councillors have backed the move, which will see a penalty charge notice rise from £60 to £100.
It will be the first hike in the charge for more than 30 years.
The new charge will come into effect on July 1.
It comes after Dundee City Council also announced plans to increase parking fines from £60 to £100 from the same date.
The move follows the publication of national guidance from the Scottish Government on how much should be charged for parking contraventions.
