Hundreds of parking fines outstanding, say Wrexham Council
Last month, the Leader submitted a Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request to the council.
In that, we asked; "What is the total amount of unpaid parking fines owed to Wrexham Council, and how many individuals currently have outstanding parking fines?"
Wrexham Council responded by revealing that a total of 888 unpaid parking fines are still outstanding.
They added that figure amounts to a total worth of £84,294.55.

The response from Wrexham Council added: "Due to how the system works - we are not able to answer the second part re. individuals as the report does not give names.
"And, if going on VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) that would not be accurate as the same person may not have had the same VRM over 2 PCN's (Penalty Charge Notice).
"Also, if the vehicle details have not been updated with the DVLA then we would have incorrect individual details."
If you park in the wrong place or don't pay for the correct amount of time, you're liable to receive a parking fine.
You are not allowed to park:
Wrexham Council's website adds: "Our enforcement officers patrol streets within the county borough and council-owned city centre car parks.
"Enforcement officers will issue a PCN if you break any parking regulations in force at the time (for both on and off street contraventions).
"If you receive a PCN you have a month to pay the charge stated on the PCN (or to make an informal challenge instead).
"If you pay within 14 days the charge will be reduced by 50%."
