A Croydon man got four parking fines after a disabled bay was painted around his car without notice, but the council canceled them and apologized.
A Croydon man received four parking fines in November 2024 after contractors painted a disabled bay around his legally parked car without notice, sparking public backlash.
The bay was installed at a resident’s request, and contractors followed standard procedure by marking around the vehicle and taking photos.
Despite internal documentation, a parking attendant issued penalty charge notices unaware of the situation.
The council later canceled the fines, citing a system note and internal error, and apologized for the confusion, noting the tickets were not processed.
The incident, captured on video and shared online, led to debate and online abuse of staff, prompting the council to urge residents to report concerns directly.
