What would you do if you got a parking fine for a shadow? That's what happened to one man who received a £65 penalty because the shadow of his car was in a disabled space.
The following month, Matthew was left ‘gobsmacked’ after he received a fine from Lewisham Council.
‘I was taking my daughter to a football match on the heath and had parked there before without problem. ‘It’s completely wrong. They’re enforcing something that’s not there. I think £65 is not a lot to many people today but the principle is wrong. If you don’t pay the fine in a certain time it doubles to £130 which is a lot.’The car was clearly not over the line Matthew, a self-employed gardener, appealed the fine but said his complaint was rejected.Matthew has launched a second appeal but is yet to hear back.
