A man raged after he was given his very first parking ticket outside the home he has lived in for over 40 years.
David Wright, also known as Ian, has lived at Swanston Avenue in Liverpool, nearby to Everton FC's Goodison Park, since 1981 and says he was astounded to be given the ticket.
He explained there is a parking zone on his street that gives residents permits to park their motor in the area and ensure that locals are not fined.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, David explained how he hadn't renewed his permit but questioned the timing of his fine as the council tries to make budget savings.
He said: "They are saying that my permit has run out, but I think that happened before the start of the season and I haven't had any tickets before now - in fact I haven't had any tickets since I started living here in 1981.
"If it has been out of date all that time, why am I only being fined now?
"All of a sudden the council are on my case and ticketing my car, parked outside my house at 7.30pm at night when it is pitch black. Are they short of funds?"
"Is the council that badly off that they are having to extract money from pensioners like me in what is already a deprived area?
"Needless to say I have challenged this Fixed Penalty Notice in writing and with photographs."
Liverpool Council said the permit expired last September and therefore the fine was correctly issues.
They say Mr Wright has until January 27 to pay at the discounted rate but can appeal the decision.
