Man who parked his car while he went to be with dying wife hit with £70 fine

A husband was hit with a parking fine after his wife passed away and he had left his car to go and visit her while she was dying. Brian Foote, 47, went to see Nahruma Ahmed, 46, after she collapsed while waiting for blood tests.

As he attended the hospital in the evening, Brian was given a parking permit the next morning which covered him for the previous day’s parking. Tragically, Nahruma, who had leukaemia, passed away just eight days later.

And, just nine days after his wife’s death, dad-of-one Brian began receiving letters from Parkingeye - saying he had been fined £35 for parking without permission. Despite having a valid parking pass, Brian says Parkingeye continued to demand payment – and increased the fine.
