77-year-old John was helping the wheelchair-bound patient when Parkingeye issued him with a £70 fine, upped it to £170 and threatened court action
A man who volunteers with a charity was issued with a £170 fine after taking a disabled man to a hospital appointment. Retired teacher John Ling, 77, was hit with a fine during his voluntary work taking children, disabled and elderly people to medical appointments.
He was warned that if he didn't pay he could be subject to 'High Court or bailiff action'. Mr Ling still refused to pay and said he was willing to go to court to fight his case. However, Parkingeye, the company which runs the hospital car park, has said it will now cancel the charge 'as a gesture of goodwill'.
A spokesperson for Parkingeye said: "The motorist parked in a designated hatched area that is strictly reserved and provides access for emergency vehicles only, he therefore correctly received a parking charge. Parkingeye operates a British Parking Association audited appeals process, which motorists can use to appeal their parking charge.
