The figure is revealed in a new report to West Norfolk councillors, which says the authority raised £5.8m - almost £1m less - from parking in 2024.

Its biggest earner was the Tuesday Market Place in King's Lynn, which brought in just over £1m from 297,000 "stays".

Next came Lynn's multi-storey car park, which brought in £793,000 from 202,000 stays, the Vancouver Quarter (£479,000/130,000) and the Cliff Top at Hunstanton (£417,000/71,000).
