A council has apologised after all the vehicles in a car park were ticketed by mistake.

Drivers who parked at Railway Place and Duke Street car parks in High Wycombe this week will have the tickets cancelled, Buckinghamshire Council has confirmed.

The council said the error occurred after a decision was wrongly taken to close off the entire car park when a suspension should have been limited to a smaller area to allow for installation of new EV charging bays.
