Driver got £100 fine for parking like this at notorious city centre car park

A dad-of-two has told of his frustration after receiving a £100 parking charge notice after taking his children for an afternoon out at a local play centre. Craig Court, from North Hill, parked at the notorious Parc Tawe Retail Park in Swansea on September 6 whilst he and his children enjoyed some quality family time at the Ninja Warrior Adventure Park there.

A week later, Mr Court was shocked to receive a letter in the post from owners of the carpark, Swansea-based Eternity Fire and Security Ltd, stating that he had a "contravention" and must pay a £100 charge within 28 days, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.

The letter, which contained two photos of his vehicle, stated Mr Court's Ford Focus was "not parked correctly within the markings of a bay or space".
