A woman was left furious after being slapped with a fine because she parked in a disabled spot while taking her 86-year-old mother for her covid jab. Louise Mowbray had taken her mum Sheila Hunt for her latest vaccination but was furious to find out she had been given a parking fine.
Louise's husband Peter Mowbray, an NHS worker, believes that the parking company wrongly issued a penalty notice. He was further frustrated by the convoluted appeals process, which he feels is deliberately complex to put people off appealing.
The fine was given after an appointment on April 30 when Louise took Sheila for a vaccine appointment at Moor Park Health and Leisure Centre in Blackpool. Sheila's age and underlying health concerns, including a recent stroke, meant that she is at a high risk of developing serious symptoms if infected, LancashireLive reports.
