Falkirk parking fine revenue revealed The figures were obtained by Central FM News through a Freedom of Information request submitted to Falkirk Council. The council was asked how much revenue it made from parking fines during two consecutive 12-month periods. Between 1 August 2024 and 31 July 2025, Falkirk Council reported parking fine revenue of £285,980.23. For the following period, from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2026, the amount recorded was £256,924.65. The difference means the council generated just over £29,000 less from parking fines in the latest period than it did during the year before. Despite the reduction, the latest figure still represents more than a quarter of a million pounds in parking fine revenue over a 12-month period. The figures provide an indication of the amount generated through parking enforcement, although the information supplied does not state how many parking fines were issued. It also does not explain why parking fine revenue fell between the two periods, so no reason for the reduction can be established from the information provided. The figures should therefore be viewed as revenue totals rather than an indication of changes in the number of parking tickets issued. For drivers in Falkirk, the figures provide a snapshot of the financial value of parking enforcement across the council area during the latest 12-month period. The Freedom of Information response covers revenue between August 2025 and July 2026, while the comparison figure covers the preceding 12 months. With parking fines continuing to generate more than £250,000 over the latest period, the figures are likely to keep attention on parking enforcement and how it operates across Falkirk.
