Heartless Fine for Family Helping Disabled Grandmother

Heartless Fine for Family Helping Disabled Grandmother

A family was left shocked after being fined £100 for a considerate parking decision that helped their disabled grandmother. Maureen Roberts, a retired nurse and registered disabled, was faced with the fine after her family parked slightly over a marked line to ensure space for her walker. Despite explaining the situation and appealing the penalty, the parking operator initially showed no compassion. It was only after media intervention that the fine was finally dropped, highlighting the lack of understanding for those with disabilities in parking management. The incident has raised concerns over the treatment of less-abled individuals in public parking spaces, calling for greater consideration and empathy from parking management companies.
