Woman forced to pay £65 after parking on 'invisible' yellow lines

A woman has hit out after receiving a parking fine - claiming the single yellow line was faded. Neera Sodhi, 61, had to pay £65 after being caught. But she says the line wasn't clear and she shouldn't have been charged.

Neera said: "I've been parking there for 20 years and most of the road is without any lines. There was a yellow line repainted in front of my car, so why couldn't they paint this bit as well?”

The mum parked in the spot on 30 December 2022 so she could grab some bargains in the post-Christmas sales. However, when she returned to her car, she spotted the yellow ticket on her windscreen. She claims she could see freshly painted lines in front of and behind her car, but nothing where she was parked.
