Signs will be put up in public car parks informing motorists that attendants are only to be paid on a voluntary basis.

Some parking attendants have long been overstepping their duties, insisting that drivers pay them unnecessary fees to use free parking spaces.

Times of Malta last year reported that some car park attendants could be making as much as €1,000 a month from the unwarranted payments. The new signs inform the public to report any irregularities to Transport Malta on 8007 2393.
