A graffiti artist who has murals all over the world has painted a mural in support of a wheelchair user who was told to pay more than £1,000 for repeatedly parking in a disabled bay. Cerys Gemma, 34, lives in Cardiff Bay’s Prospect Place apartment complex where she has been allocated a standard space in the car park.
However Cerys says that the space is “tiny” and is flanked by a pillar which makes it impossible for her to get her wheelchair out of her car. She has instead been using a disabled bay which New Generation Parking Management says is only for visitors.
Earlier this month the firm made a claim through the County Court Business Centre over five unpaid fines amounting to £800. The company is demanding £1,036 from Cerys including interest and legal cost – meaning a bill totalling more than £1,800.
