“Get Rich Schemes For Bankrupt Councils” | Penalty Charges Notices Soar For Motorists

- The number of drivers visited by bailiffs over unpaid traffic fines has surged amid a rise in clean air zones, new figures show.
Some four million penalty charge notices (PCNs) were referred to enforcement agencies in England and Wales in the 2023/24 financial year, the Times reported.
That is up from 2.4 million during the previous 12 months, 1.9 million in 2019/20 and 1.3 million in 2017/18.
The figures were compiled by the Civil Enforcement Association (CEA), a trade body representing bailiff companies.

No one ever states the obvious. 🤷🏻♂️
If ULEZ was real, cars not meeting the requirements would be banned.
BUT, you can drive there if you pay £12.50 per day.
THATS NOT ULEZ
It’s a poor person tax.
Let’s call it what it is.
Correct. What has been done to clean the air with the money they've accrued? Where are the filters, where is the cleaner air? Nowhere because that money has gone elsewhere.
@@Cornz38 Exactly this 👍
Rip Off Britain
Soo many short sighted policies that will not further us as a nation, I dread to think what 10 yrs from now will look like. We are run by morons!
Get out and vote Reform in the local elections in May,and get rid of these bloody Labour Councils.
Any council that has to declare itself bankrupt should automatically be forced to have an election so a new council can be elected. Perhaps then they would be a little more careful about their finances.
Thurrock council lost millions on silly money making scheme , I can’t find out if anyone was sacked over it. Yet they want to raise the council tax to cover the cost
It's a scam.
Council elections Vote them all out of office
You only vote for councillors that have no power within a council.
Those with power in a council are the directors and senior management. These are unaccountable people. These are the people on stupid amounts of money and bonuses. They set their own pay rises.
They make these stupid decisions.
We need to have a vote on the directors of councils.
Plus wages need to be restricted to the same as an mp for directors and senior management.
A friend of mine drove to Birmingham and went through a "clean air zone" if he had known about this he could have taken another road and not payed a penny. How does this clean the air?
Millions wasted by councils on rubbish sceams
Rubbish what?
@@craigrothwell6144 sorry Rubbish projects that only cost the rate payers more money
If the council are bankrupt how by law are they still operating?
Of course they are not bankrupt, people use the word to mean lack of enough funds.
Only private companies can be bankrupt, not government, councils, public institutions which are supported by population through taxes.
They are not bankrupt your council tax goes to the governament and the governament give them a set amount back
@@marxk4rl I think you will find the council is a corporation
@@marxk4rl as is the uk government corporation it’s on companies house
@@3rdeyegeneral What do you mean council is a corporation, they have shareholders? They pay dividends, they are on stock market? They sell something, they compete with other companies?
Councils are local governments supported by taxes, unless all people in UK stop paying taxes, councils will never run out of money, although they can overspend by borrowing.
So when I do all my shopping online for fear of incurring a fine for driving an unwashed car during the hours of daylight or walking on the cracks in the pavement and the local shops give up and stop paying rates they might just realise that we have options that will kick them back.
Form a political party for motorists and vote all the green politicians out of office
Rip of Britain 🇬🇧
I used to joke around saying they wil fine us for the air we breath .Now they fine us for driving in a certain area where we breath air .
I live in Coventry and I have learnt from the Romanias buy a cheap car for 300 pounds don't register it don't tax or insurance it drive down bus lanes park where you want any parking tickets throw them away as they can't find you and if the police take the car away at some point go buy another car you will save a fortune
Am sure that if the councils could keep the money they collect they would .manage fine, but because the government creams off a large percentage to wast on crackpot schemes they will always be broke.
You have made my day Peter.
Coventy Poly for 4 years early 80s
Love David and Lily Reading.
How can you buy a car without registration? It's registered on seller's name, the seller must send to DVLA the logbook.
Those Romanians buy from other Romanians who returned to Romania permanently. So the person registered on logbook is out of UK and can't be forced to pay the fines.
@@marxk4rl you just use someone else's name address to register the car I have had it done to me twice in the past
Great advice Thanks, Wish me luck🤣
Criminal Maffia !!!
Top class work Petrie and Joanna. If every motorist followed every rule, every council in the lsnd would be bankrupt and there'd be no modal shift from cars to bikes and e-scooters.
They will always reject the 1st appeal as a matter of course
it was Hunt who said to Khan if you need more money then go after the motorists ... allegedly!
*Joanna, wow! What a gal!* 😮
Corrupt Councils know they can send out 100 tickets and 90 will get paid no appeal, Motorists been beaten into submission, Surely if You appeal a ticket and win you should then be able to take them to small claims court for expenses and stress caused... The Council should also be made to pay back all the tickets given for the same offence at that location...Otherwise it's all one sided and criminal.
I paid parking fine £60 for 10 minutes parking after 10 pm
And there was no appeal option
I am currently fighting a fine that was given to me for parking on the pavement outside my flat to unload shopping. I live on the 3rd floor and couldn't find a space despite having a residents permit.
I parked close to the building leaving as much space on the pavement for pedestrians to get past (as wide as the pavement is at the bottom of the road).
I was fined for being parked for 5 minutes. I challenged the fine and was denied. I then appealed the decision which was also refused. The bailifs are now contacting me for £475 which I refuse to pay.
Firstly it was not parked long and was not obstructing the pavement or road. Secondly after a freedom of information request I discovered the council sold 54 permits for the road which can park an average of 35 cars!
This is fraud! So despite the negative impact on my mental health I continue to fight.
N. B I wrote to my MP who incidentally is the highest paid in this country..... I heard from his secretary a couple of times but never from him. The secretary replied that there was nothing he could do!
You stated an average of 35 cars. Average must mean that the car park can accommodate more than 35 cars.
It's not a car park but parking spaces along the residential road. There are 3 long spaces rather than individual boxes. Because different number of cars can park depending on size or parking ability, I counted a few different times when the spaces were filled and averaged the results. You definitely couldn't fit 54 unless they were all minis or smart cars parked bumper to bumper!
@@HelenaKnight-h3l ahh, OK.
The Bath and north east somerset council are trying to introduce emission based car park charging, which discriminates against poor people who cant afford a new or electric car,its a scam
What has clean air got to do with where you park?
The councils in London are so greedy that they’re killing the high street, killing businesses .. it’s awful seeing so many empty shops..
It's not a war on motorists rather, it is more an extortion upon motorists...
Easy target don’t expect it to stop 😢infact it will only get worse , until they drive us of the road 🙄
Let's imagine if all the vehicles on the road stopped for a month and all motorists got a one month tax rebate for their vehicle being off the road and didn't buy any fuel at garages which most of the money goes to government in taxes and nobody needed any work done on their vehicles which the government get the vat off etc?? So it is easy to say they don't want you on the road because it would bankrupt the country along with alcohol tax if people stopped drinking and smokers stopped smoking and drivers stopped driving. It is probably what we all should do now and again and teach them not to keep messing with us.
Myself and my partner wanted to go on a tram ride in seaton which was £21 per person each, which we were willing to pay. When we parked up in a council car park in seaton we noticed that the parking price had gone up from £2 for 4 hours to £8. That is 800% rise, so the tram company lost money because we decided to go home instead rather than pay that.
Bill of Rights [1688]
1688 CHAPTER 2 1 Will and Mar Sess 2
Grants of Forfeitures.
That all Grants and Promises of Fines and Forfeitures of particular persons "BEFORE CONVICTION" are ILLEGAL AND VOID!!
What's new? Motorists have been easy targets since the days of horse and cart all in the name of some trumpt up reason. Between government tax on vat on tax, fuel companies not passing price reductions, parking charges getting out of control and now they want our information including banking, ridiculously outrageous insurance costs and coming to a road near you, pay per mile. It has nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with reducing the amount of traffic for the wealthy to get stuck in. I don't know anyone else, but I have noticed smaller speed limit signs on roads that have had speed limits reduced, and you can guarantee the police are on hand to obtain extra revenue all in the name of accident reduction. The council reduced a long straight, wide, rural road I drive on often from national speed limit to 50 for a reason I truly don't understand.
My local council gave a company millions to build a bypass day's before that company ceased trading and way before they even started building the road. It spends a ridiculous amount on pointless sign posts, like putting a 40 sign less than 20 yards from a 30. It spent £10,000 on a ridiculous looking sign above a street that is seldom noticed and can't be understood even if it was noticed. Councils spend millions on compensation claims for damage to vehicles caused by pot holes instead of fixing the problem. They spent thousands on cycle paths cyclists don't use. Councils are a drain on our taxes, but what can we do. Say something and you're far right. Protest and you're far left. Very little makes sense anymore.
Break the law and come into the country illegally, you get rewarded with cash and a hotel room and a decent health care package denied to us. Break a motoring law by a tiny amount and you get slammed with a fine. Makes you wonder if one is needed to pay for another....
What country would be best to move to? It’s getting ridiculous here
Don’t go to France as they are expanding their equivalent of ULEZ in 2025!
Speaks a conscientious patriot ... 🤔
The world is run by accountants!!
Accountants can actually do maths, we are run by greedy politicians who don’t care about their citizens.
Google Map should have parking restrictions on there maps it would help Google hint hint
🤣🤣🤣
Google maps keeps taking me down a rood in fulham where you are fined just for driving down the road, google maps doesnt re rote you or give warnings
Well then in that case it's only fair the councils should be able to help car drivers to clearly guide then to area that would be safe to park etc without .. This honey trap .
If BAILLIFS are involved then it's gone to court, the appellant lost their appeal (you should ALWAYS appeal) and then has failed to pay the fine.
We don't live anywhere near London, but it's become so bad here, that my son sold his car, which now means he may no longer be able to get to work, because of all the greedy transport workers wanting to fleece for ridiculous amounts of money. But hey... he saves on extortionate charges and contributes for net zero, doesn't he and everybody else seems entitled to money. At least he worked 25 years and served his country for ten of that.
Leave the country springs to mind
This has been a problem for years you have to spend more time looking at your speed than on the road as you are scared of penalties
Ignore any fines. You live under common law in England and Wales not petty little meaningless bylaws. Ignore, nothing will happen.
Never paid a parking fine in my life... I don't fund lifestyles...
You're funding lifestyles when you purchase things...
She's mixing up fines and penalties. If you don't pay a fine, prison was the traditional alternative.
Its almost as if residents are voting for the wrong people.
Why are councils struggling When a lot of them spend colossal amounts on stupid vanity projects and we give millions in foreign aid & hundreds of millions looking after people that dont pay tax ?
Parking is so much where i live i do all my shopping online as i can usually buy what i need for less than parking for an hour
Dont sign anything they are only a corporation and penalty notices are just a notice lose the fear
We can't aford their pay perks and pensions simple
Highway robbery - council Price Gouging
Bill of Rights which is current legislation states that ‘grants of fines and forfeitures before conviction are unlawful’. You are not obligated to pay any PCNs.
Same in Germany
Petrie...........is no dish.
We should speak up for ourselves she says.
If we spend hours and hours fighting a fine we are not allowed to charge for our time.
We Don't invite these fines, they are forced upon us, if we appeal we get charged double admitting liability in the process and no chance to get paid for our time wasted fighting.
This is unacceptable, undemocatic and does not sit well with our British culture of fair play.
It’s all a scam
Got two cars, fully paid for, but been OVER A YEAR since i could afford to run either of them 😮, when one sells, its a classic motorbike for me........
Ebikes are crap, and i gotta have SOME form of transport
Make council's & government departments show their expeses & outgoings on the blockchain, so they're accountable & open to public scrutiny. 😮
Corruption. Mafia
Vote for the reform party
£1 per mile someone mentioned
Stop voting for the same people all the time.
There is already pay per mile, at least if you have a ICE vehicle you are paying for fuel and that has both duty and vat applied so the more you use the more you pay and older less economic cars also pay more 🤷♂️
VED is based on emissions but realistically this has not worked as they hoped
Councils need to raise money because the Tories slashed their budgets over the past 14 years !!!!
Why in the hell did Petrie Hosken get into reporting if she not going to tell the truth about what everyone can see is happening. I guess as long as she has the good live you can be blind to everyone else's lives.
Holy smoke show that’s a good looking woman
This is desperate stuff. 😂😂
I cover on my website a lot of the issues raised in this video, see below.
No coucil fnes are legal
Break the law with a minor traffic infraction, your hounded and fined.Cross the Chanel from another country and we will give you money.
If you don't park illegally you will not get a ticket. Simple.
It's not a war, it just highlights how utterly ignorant and selfish many motorists actually are.
people park legally in places and still get a ticket. numbnuts because front of car is one inch over . so grow up or keep cycling with no insurance etc and get your vegan food delivered.
Wow
Pretty lady
