Glasgow City Council will submit regular reports to Scottish Ministers on decriminalised parking enforcement in its area. The report will include, among other things, details of Penalty Charge Notices issued and when they were paid, details of cases going to adjudication, cases where no further action is taken and the number of vehicles the Council has removed from the street because they were in breach of parking rules.As the parking authority, the Council is also required to keep an account of income and expenditure in respect of designated parking places. Statute requires that details of this account are submitted to Scottish Ministers as soon as is practicable at the end of each financial year.In addition, the Scottish Parking Appeals Service will submit an annual report to Scottish Ministers on the discharge by the parking adjudicators of their functions in the Glasgow area.
