Parking tickets triple in Ceredigion since council takeover
The number of parking tickets issued in Ceredigion has more than tripled since the local authority took over.
In the last six months 4,653 tickets have been handed out by Ceredigion County Council traffic wardens, compared to 1,367 when the police were in charge of prosecuting motorists.
It means more than £135,000 has been paid in fines.
There were chaotic scenes particularly in Aberystwyth when the town was left without traffic wardens because of a delay in the county council taking over the running of parking enforcement.
Ceredigion County Council now employs six permanent and two temporary civil parking enforcement officers. The authority says the wardens have helped improved the flow of traffic as well as the availability of loading and disabled bays.

The toys from the West Wales Museum of Childhood in Llangeler, Carmarthenshire, include a wooden John Gilpin horse rider toy dated between 1908 and the 1920s, some of the first machine-washable teddies, made in the 1950s and a Winchester Saddle Gun from the 1960s.
The owners of the museum, Hilary Kennelly, 59, and husband Paul, 64, have been collecting toys for forty years.
People’s Collection Wales is a partnership project between Amgueddfa Cymru – NationalMuseum Wales, the National Library of Wales and the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales. It is funded by the Welsh Government.
£4m cash injection for Oakwood Theme Park
£4 million is set to be invested in the Pembrokeshire theme park, Oakwood, in what's being described as the largest investment at the park for more than a decade.
Officials say the funding will be used to create a new family park area - featuring a series of new rides - at the popular west Wales attraction.
The new development will feature seven new rides and attractions, including a water ride alongside a series of children's play areas and other themed attractions.
The park director Dominic Jones has also said that "family-friendly facilities" will be created including baby-changing facilities, high chairs and microwaves.
Mr Jones said: "It is also a direct response to visitor feedback we have received.
"As well as creating a must-see new destination for families, the development also represents a major boost for the local economy and will create a number of new jobs."
The full details are expected to be released early next year and work is set to start on site in the next few weeks.
They anticipate the new family park will open before the next summer holidays.
