Labour council threatens to fine residents £1,000 for parking on own drives.
Southampton city council has sent letters to residents who drive over non-dropped kerbs to get on to their own driveways.
The council, which was forced to apply for emergency government help because of a £39m budget shortfall for 2024-25, has been accused of being “unnecessarily heavy handed” with its enforcement of the 1980 Highways Act.
