A nursing assistant was slapped with £396 worth of fines for parking at a hospital while he was working on a Covid ward.
Malcolm Timmis, from Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent is now being chased by bailiffs for the money after refusing to pay the three parking penalties, which were issued at the Royal Stoke University Hospital in February and March last year.
The 61-year-old says that hospital parking charges were still being waived due to the coronavirus pandemic at the time and that parking metres were sealed up on the days of the fines.
