States members in Guernsey have overwhelmingly approved a £25 rise in parking fines.
Home Affairs says the current financial penalties for parking offences are not severe enough to deter motorists from breaking the law.
Around 14,000 notices are issued each year.
Deputy Rob Prow is Committee President:
"The fines have remained unchanged for over a decade ,during which time inflation has risen dramatically.
Therefore, it is necessary, in order to maintain and reinforce the deterrent effect, to increase these levels."
34 deputies agreed, 2 voted against - 4 were not present.
The proposition will come back to the Assembly as a draft ordinance.
At that point, it can be debated again, and if approved, it will then become law.
This is how each band will be affected:
Guernsey Firefighters to collect Christmas trees for charity
Four Guernsey residents on the New Year Honours List
Patrols at La Valette bathing pools after recurring antisocial behavior
Enhanced protection for Sark's sea life
Skeleton of new Guernsey golf resort built
Prominent Guernsey man appointed Commissioner for Standards
Record festive parcel delivery for Guernsey Post
Channel Islands Ferry Operators Working Group expands
