A man has vowed to never return to Cornwall after receiving a 'ridiculous' parking fine. Michael Davies, who is from Crediton in Devon, claims that he has been falsely accused of not paying for parking whilst visiting St Michael's Mount with his neighbour.
Mr Davies parked in Marazion before heading to the beautiful tourist attraction, where he spent three to four hours before returning to his car and paying £5 for his stay in cash at the parking machine, Cornwall Live reports. Before heading back to the car, Mr Davies, who is over 70, made sure that the machine said that it had 'accepted' his payment, which he claims it did.
A few weeks after visiting Cornwall, Mr Davies received a letter from Initial Parking, the parking company which operates the Marazion car park. The letter informed Mr Davies that he had not fully paid for his stay, as the parking company claimed he had paid £1 via contactless card (the fee for an hour's stay) before remaining at the site for another two hours and 58 minutes.
