West Norfolk Council has increased annual parking charges for residents in Heacham from £58.10 for 8 months to £121.60 for 12 months. The change affects permits for North and South Beach car parks. Some residents, including Nicky Bailey, who started a petition, are concerned about the affordability of the new prices, which they fear will prevent elderly and disabled people from accessing the beach. Christina Brown is also worried that the increased charges will lead to illegal parking and limit access to the beach in emergencies. The council claims it found "anomalies" in its pricing strategy and is attempting to make it fairer by bringing all charges into line, despite initial criticism.

Parking meters and a sign were vandalized at Roundhay Park in Leeds after charges were introduced at several beauty spots in West Yorkshire. The damage was discovered over the weekend, rendering some payment options unavailable. The council had introduced charges to fund maintenance and better facilities, but the move was met with opposition from some park users. While the council understands that not everyone is happy about the charges, they consider vandalizing the machines unacceptable.

According to Freedom of Information data, over 2,000 drivers were fined for misusing disabled parking spaces in Reading between 2020-2024. The majority of fines (2,030) were issued for using a disabled space without a blue badge or overstaying the allotted time, resulting in £50,770 in revenue for the council. The road with the highest number of fines was Blagrave Street, followed by Kings Road and Oxford Road. In 2023 alone, 2,501 fines were issued, and 96 additional fines were given at off-street car parks.

Guildford's parking meters have been shut down and replaced with the RingGo app for on-street parking payments. The change was made by Surrey County Council, which stated that 70% of parking payments are now made through the app, while old machines were becoming difficult to repair and maintain. Some visitors expressed concerns about the change, citing issues with technology and potential difficulties for those who do not use smartphones. However, others saw it as a necessary step forward, noting that alternative payment options remain available.
