CONCORD – If you thought you could ignore that parking ticket you got last summer at Hampton Beach, think again.
Yesterday, the Executive Council approved a contract with The Allen Daniel Associates, Inc. of Waltham, Mass. to collect about $120,000 in unpaid fines.
The state Division of Parks and Recreation manages the Hampton parking meters along Route 1A at Hampton Beach from May 1 to Oct. 1 as a way of funding Hampton Beach State Park.

Allison McLean, division director, said the word on the beach is you can get away without paying parking tickets at Hampton Beach because the division cannot withhold a car registration or license of in-state or out-of-state beach users. "That's no longer going to be the case," she said.
This will be the first year the state will try to collect the unpaid fines.
"Collecting 60 percent is better than what we are getting now," McLean said.
She told the council most people feed the meters, which produced about $1.5 million in revenue last summer.
McLean said the division is looking at new pay machines to replace the meters so there would be more options.
The majority of parking tickets issued at Hampton Beach are not issued by the Hampton Police. They are issued by the State Park Patrol, a division of DRED.
