Mum on Universal Credit 'intimidated' as bailiffs demand £400 over seaside parking dispute

A mum said she was intimidated when a bailiff turned up at her door demanding £400 following a parking dispute with a council following a trip to the seaside. Jemma Martin, 31, is a working mum on Universal Credit and said she felt threatened during the incident.

Single mum Miss Martin, 31, had travelled to Skegness last August bank holiday for a day out with her then-partner and children, who were aged four and 18-months at the time, LincolnshireLive reports. But when they got there, they weren't able to open the car doors properly to get the children and a pushchair in and out of the car.

Because there were no parent and child parking spaces, Miss Martin, from Beechdale, Nottingham, parked slightly over the white line to create room.She was then given a parking ticket, which she has been disputing with East Lindsey District Council since then.
