A woman got a £40 fine after rushing her seriously ill mum to A&E and parking in a drop-off zone because there was no space in the hospital car park. Jill Taylor, 75, was taken to hospital after a serious and “potentially life-threatening” accident last month.
Ms Taylor had fallen outside a Primary Care Centre, suffering wounds to her head and face. Her daughter was told to drive her straight to A&E, but when they arrived they were unable to find a parking space.
In desperation, the family left the car in the drop-off zone and left a note on it. But they returned to find they had been landed with a £40 fine.
