A defiant wife has hit out at what she calls an "absolute joke" £200 parking fine. Barbara Shabir, 42, and her husband Yasir received two notices in the last week - both for £100 - from Premier Park which said they had overstayed parking limits at the Matalan store at Springfield Retail Park, Bulwell.
But Barbara said the times given - 3.52pm to 6.05pm on February 1 and 3.20pm to 9.47pm on February 17 - are when her husband does the school run to pick their children up. Yasir works nights at the Morrisons store within the retail park and has his own parking space that he uses so, Barbara said, he would not have parked in the Matalan car park area anyway.
Barbara, who lives in Hucknall with Yasir and their five kids, said: "We had one last week and one again yesterday. It's where the Morrisons is in Springfield Retail Park.
