Parking permit - the row goes on

Romford Recorder

A PARKING ticket has been quashed by Havering Council after the Recorder intervened following angry complaints from a Romford pensioner.

Last week we told how Joan Smith of St Andrew's Road had been celebrating her 70th birthday with family, only for her son Keith to be issued with a parking ticket despite a visitor's permit being placed in his car windscreen.

To make matters worse Joan, who turned 70 on May 7, claims she was accused of being a liar as council wardens believed the permit had been forged.

But the council, who said the permit number had been "defaced" as it was coloured black and not red, has now seen sense and cancelled the £80 penalty charge notice.
