A mum has been slapped with a £100 parking fine for overstaying a waiting bay for nine minutes as she handed over her severely disabled son for a few hours respite care.
Widowed mum Charlotte Cheshire, 44, took son Adam to meet his carer for an afternoon of fun, and parked up in Telford town centre.
Adam, 11, needs 24-hour care, so the chance of a few hours respite was much needed and would mean his mum could have a break from the mental and physical toll of caring for a disabled child alone, since the death of her husband in 2020.
