Parking Wars: The Empire Strikes Fine
Local councils and parking enforcement go together like traffic wardens and bad attitudes. One minute, you're pulling into a space outside your favorite café, and the next, a mysterious figure in a high-vis vest materializes out of thin air, slapping a ticket on your windshield with the smug precision of a ninja. Meanwhile, the council insists that the 17 confusing signs, contradictory road markings, and the fact that the pay-and-display machine only takes ancient Roman coins are all part of their "streamlined" parking system. And if you dare to challenge a fine? Congratulations! You’ve just entered a bureaucratic labyrinth so complex that even a seasoned lawyer would rather pay the £60 and move on with their life.
Woman Fined £100 for Buying Wrong Parking Ticket Due to Welsh Language Barrier
- Wednesday, 23 April 2025
A woman, Claire Hannah, was fined £100 by a parking firm for buying an incorrect ticket at a car park in Betws-y-Coed, north Wales. She claims the ticket machine was only in Welsh and she couldn't change the language settings, so she bought a ticket and displayed it on her windscreen. Despite this, she received a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) from the firm 10 days later, which charged her £100 for buying the wrong ticket.
