Foreign drivers cost city £445k
MORE than £445,000 worth of parking tickets racked up by foreign motorists have been cancelled in the past two years, new figures show.
Edinburgh was among dozens of councils across the UK that wrote off thousands of tickets worth millions because the drivers cannot be traced.
A council spokeswoman said: "There are a number of reasons why a parking ticket could be written off. It could be because the driver cannot be traced, it could also be because signs or road markings were missing, or it could be because the parking attendant made a mistake."
