Figures obtained by The Argus revealed a parking fine was issued every five minutes in Brighton and Hove.
With offences including leaving cars too far away from the kerb, parking in designated police bays, blocking cycle lanes and simply not paying, Brighton and Hove City Council revealed more than 114,000 fines were issued in 2012/13 – boosting its coffers by £4.4 million and contributing to an overall parking profit of £11 million.
The money raised has to be put towards transport projects.
We want to know how you think the money should be spent.
Should it be put towards cycle infrastructure?
Or spent on bus concessions?
Or would you like to see something entirely different?
