A disabled Scot returned home after a nightmare spell in hospital, where he nearly died three times, to find double yellow lines painted outside his flat. Joseph Thompson spent months in hospital after developing pneumonia and later sepsis.
The 60-year-old, of Edinburgh, struggles with his mobility due to injuries he suffered earlier in his life. As well as being involved in a motorcycle accident, he also fell on board a moving bus, leaving him unable to walk far or write with a pen.
As reported by our sister title, Edinburgh Live, he was admitted to hospital on January 10. Joseph, who usually parks outside his flat at Dryden Gait, was discharged at the end of March.
