The Home Office publishes data annually on the number of motoring offences dealt with via a fixed penalty notice (FPN) in the ‘Police Powers and Procedures, England and Wales’ statistical publication.

The number of FPNs issued for ‘Obstruction, waiting and parking offences’ can be found in table ‘FPN_02’ of the ‘Fixed penalty notices for motoring offences’ tables. This table shows data on a calendar year basis, with the collection beginning in 2001

The latest data, up to the calendar year 2016, can be found here:

The Home Office does not hold information on who issued the FPN, or the monetary value of these penalties.
