Car ownership in London has been fairly stable for years, with a slight downward trend since 2016.
As you can see, that isn't the case with parking PCN numbers going up by 54% over a decade. That however masks a huge variance. In Wandsworth the overall number of PCNs issued went down, the only borough where it did. There was industrial action by traffic wardens (CEOs) in 2022 and 2024 which it seems had quite the effect.
Go to the other end of the scale, Greenwich, where the number of parking PCNs trebled over a decade. That cannot be because people in Greenwich decided to become terrible at parking but because, possibly or probably, more controlled parking zones were introduced and more civil enforcement officers were deployed. One of Mr Mustard's readers in Greenwich may know. Greenwich Council may have become PCN crack addicts is also an option.
There were two big jumps in Greenwich, using 31 March as the year end.
From 2018 to 2019 from 38.342 to 68,195 and
from 2024 to 2025 from 70,898 to 102,854
The end. Bus lane and moving traffic stats to follow.
