Woman slapped with £100 parking fine after donating blood to save lives

A woman was hit with a parking fine while donating blood at a Worsley hotel - and then had her penalty ramped up to £100 after her appeal was rejected.

Caroline McKee, from Monton, said she was 'just doing a good deed' when she decided to give blood at the Novotel, Manchester West site, for the fifth time on May 23. However, just a few days after parking up and spending an hour donating her blood, she says she received a letter ordering her to pay £60.

She appealed the fine with Parkingeye, and says she even provided evidence that she had legitimately visited the site to give blood via a health appointment letter. But, this was then rejected, and her fine was initially increased to £100.
