Parking enforcement staff in downtown Andover ensure that parking spots are being paid for every minute they're being used and, in turn, issue parking violations to residents and other visitors to downtown Andover.

Take a look at this chart below outlining the expenses and revenues of the Andover Parking Enforcement operations. Be sure to check out a feature next week where we compare the revenue from Andover's downtown parking to the revenue of similar downtowns in the area.
