Union Street has just been crowned the king of parking fines, with a staggering 1,341 penalty charge notices issued in just one year. That's nearly four fines per day, raking in a jaw-dropping £47,404 for Herefordshire Council. With an average fine of £35.35, Union Street is a one-way street to paying more for parking.

Despite its small size, clocking in at less than 200 yards, Union Street packs a punch, stretching from Bath Street to the heart of St Peter's Church. The council website states that violations can cost drivers either £50 or £70, but if you act fast, you can pay half the amount within two weeks of receiving the ticket.

This eye-opening information was uncovered through a freedom of information request from a mystery member of the public. However, it's important to note that this data only pertains to streets parking and not the county's car parks, which are also managed by Herefordshire Council. So, beware, the streets of Hereford are watching, and you don't want to be caught on the wrong side of the law.
