Firstly, please be advised that the net income allocated to ‘parking’ in the previous submission has been corrected as we do not operate any parking services, this should read £nil for the previous year also. The income which relates to enforcement of parked vehicles has been reclassified under Traffic Management and Road Safety.
The net congestion charge figure is £256.9m for 2019/20 and is broken down below:
