Mum fined £100 for staying 21 seconds too long in car park
A Telford woman has been slapped with a £100 fine after she stayed 21 seconds too long in a car park in the town centre.
Atlanta Furber, 25, was collecting a friend from the Telford Centre when she drove into the free drop-off/collection point behind Primark in her Nissan Juke on April 4 this year.
After collecting her friend, Atlanta says "was shocked" to find a parking fine on her doormat a month later - especially when she discovered she had been handed the penalty notice for overstaying by just 21 seconds.
"I couldn't believe it," said Atlanta from Dawley. "I was appalled. They say you can stay for ten minutes, but I was just 21 seconds over."
