Disabled 80-year-old woman fined £100 after taking too long shopping in Morrisons

A disabled pensioner was hit with a £100 parking fine in Swansea after taking too long to do her shopping at Morrisons.

Eighty-year-old Ann Tawe-Jones drove into Morfa Shopping Park on January 19 and then popped into the nearby supermarket. Two hours and six minutes later, she returned to her vehicle to discover a ticket had been slapped on her car as she had exceeded the 90-minute limit, reports Wales Online.

Ann has mobility issues and has to get by using a walking stick, so it takes her longer than most to get round the aisles. She also enjoys the company of fellow shoppers, but was shocked to then see she’d been penalised for ‘overstaying her welcome’ after heading back to her motor.
