Tenant left furious over £100 fine for parking in her own space

A resident of a development near Brunel Way says she has been issued a ticket for parking in her own space. Lois Wentworth, who lives in Paxton Drive, described the rules as a 'shambles'' and doesn’t believe she should be fined £100 for parking in her designated space because the rules are 'confusing'.

Since the new rules were first introduced in the autumn, Ms Wentworth has continued to park her car in the space that is allocated to her flat as a private tenant, but the ticket she was issued in the first week of January was because she was not displaying a residents' permit.

She told Bristol Live: “We've never had to display a permit permanently before”. Ms Wentworth said she wasn’t aware from the communications that have been sent to residents that it was even required.
