Mum on Universal Credit fined £400 after taking kids on day out

A single mum on Universal Credit said a bailiff worker demanded almost £400 from her without notice after a family day out.

Jemma Martin, 31, went to Skegness for an August bank holiday day out with her then-partner and her children, who were four and 18-months-old at the time. Miss Martin and her family arrived at North Parade car park, but were not able to open their car doors properly in the space in order to get her children and a pushchair in and out of the car.

Because there were no parent and child parking spaces, to solve this issue, Miss Martin parked slightly over the white line to create room. The mum-of-two, from Nottingham, was later given a parking ticket.
