Infographic: the private parking problem visualised

Good morning MSE,
I've made an infographic that attempts to portray the state of the private parking industry in the UK.

A lot of viewers on MSE will probably already know this data, but the key to giving a campaign against the parking firms momentum is to spread awareness of the issue.
Feedback would be appreciated!
(But commenting that these are not 'fines' is not worth your time!)
Sources for data not yet included, but almost everything is based on published data. The most contentious point is probably the turnover figures for the industry. That is based upon the British Parking Association's own figures, as well as the number of DVLA requests the DVLA will receive this year. The average charge in England & Wales is based on empirical observation and may be slightly too high.

Great stuff Mike - hopefully it will get mass distribution via the forums and social media sites.
Look forward to hearing how it progresses.Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

Would have uploaded via fb but it only puts a small thumbnail up, this would look nice on ALDI's FB Page We’ve had to remove your signature because your opinion differs from ours.
