A DRIVER was left stunned after his parked car was lifted up so double-yellow lines could be painted underneath – before the council slapped him with a ticket.
Baffled James Dee returned to his car to find it was facing the opposite direction to which he parked it and the back wheel was sitting on double yellow lines. James Dee was stunned when he found his car parked the opposite way and received a ticket.
What’s worse, a council traffic warden swooped in and hit him with a £55 fine for parking illegally.
Furious James, 43, told The Sun: “I couldn’t believe it. Not only did the council move my car to paint the lines, they then had the cheek to slap on a parking ticket which I’m having to appeal.
“I’m absolutely fuming, I’m not paying a penny.”
Bus driver James said he drove to work as normal, parking his red Vauxhall Zafira on Beadman Street in Norwood, south London at around 10.30am.
