Hebburn carer has Gateshead bus lane fine scrapped after complaining about unclear signs

A carer from Hebburn who challenged a bus lane fine will get her money back after Gateshead Council dropped the charge on appeal.

Michaela Moyse, 36, drove from her home to Gateshead Quayside to attend an event celebrating the coronation of King Charles III on May 7. She and her partner attempted to find parking near South Shore Road but to no avail, so turned around to try elsewhere.

However, unbeknownst to her at the time, she had inadvertently entered the controversial South Shore Road bus lane incurring a £70 fine. Michaela, who suffers from depression and anxiety, found the process extremely stressful and says she is now extra paranoid when driving.
