Second man refuses to pay fine issued only in English at car park, blaming 'imperial arrogance'

A second man issued with parking fine written only in English is refusing to pay. Arwyn Groe received a parking charge at a car park in Llangrannog, Ceredigion, in July and has now been told the fine has been passed on to debt collectors.

Mr Groe, who lives in Powys, refused to pay the parking fine as the penalty notice and all subsequent correspondence were not served in Welsh. See our coverage of the ongoing problems at Llangrannog car park here and here.

The car park managers One Parking Solutions Ltd are pursuing it despite losing a case earlier this year in court. Former teacher and education officer for the Welsh Government, Toni Schiavone, won his case in Aberystwyth's civil court in May after refusing to pay an English-only parking fine from the same car park company.
