A builder received 51 driving fines in a day after he repeatedly drove down a residents-only road - leaving him with a £6,000 bill. John Barrett, 54, says he accrued the charges over a five-month period - but they were all delivered to his door earlier this month.
He got a message from shocked wife Lisa, also 54, after more than 50 letters arrived - containing fines adding up to £6,350. John says the charges - which cost £130 a time - have been issued because his trips to the gym see him drive up a residents only road in Chiswick, west London.
But the dad-of-three claims that he has a permit which allows his Tesla to use the route without penalty - and the fines have been issued incorrectly. Irritated John says he has had to fire off emails corresponding to each letter to Hounslow Council, who he claims would not accept a blanket response.
