Default Parking in Lambeth

The contract in Lambeth which stipulates Control Plus
have to hand out 200,000 tickets a year, otherwise
their profits are significantly reduced.


Most of these contracts, and certainly the incentives for
the individual parking attendents, specify a certain
number of *valid* tickets must be issued in a set period
of time. This eliminates the incentive to issue incorrect
tickets to fill a quota.

Of course, people who think they have been incorrectly
issued with a penalty notice can always appeal - by
paying you agree that you were parked illegally in
return for the council taking no further action against
you.
