An angry couple have hit out over an 'extortionate and excessive' parking fine they received on a Sunday afternoon after a packed-out show at a theatre overran.
Roy and Patricia Ashton, from Woodley in Stockport, admit they were 25 minutes late to get back to their Nissan Juke, but say the £100 penalty charge notice they subsequently got through the post 'leaves a sour taste' and serves only to tarnish Stockport's reputation.
The couple had been with friends to Stockport Plaza for a matinee show by popular Stockport entertainer Andy Powell and his big band on March 5 - a Sunday. It was a sell-out with a crowd of more than 1,000 present.
