Welsh man in legal battle over parking fine he refused to pay - as it’s written in English

A Welsh man is locked in a bitter legal dispute and could end up in court - after he refused to pay a parking fine because it was issued in English. Arwyn Groe received a parking charge at a car park in Llangrannog, Ceredigion, in July and he has refused to pay it ever since.

The penalty notice, and subsequent letters, have all been written in English, even though Arwyn lives west of the border - and now he's been told the fine has been passed on to debt collectors. For now, he's standing his ground and refusing to pay, but he may find himself in court if the parking firm doesn't back down.

Arwyn is supported by Welsh-language pressure group Cymdeithas yr Iaith (Cymdeithas yr Iaith)
