North Wales councils have brought in a staggering £4.3m in revenue from their car parks.
And some are hugely more lucrative than others.
Llandudno ’s promenade generated more parking revenue than any other car park or street in North Wales, according to figures released by councils in the region.
A freedom of information request found that Conwy council raked in £353,350 from on-street parking charges at the promenade between April 2018 and March 2019 – almost double that generated by its nearest rival.
