Pensioner Anthony Birch received a £100 fine despite paying for a parking ticket twice for fear he had not done it correctly and has vowed to fight the penalty charge
A fuming pensioner has vowed to fight a £100 penalty charge after twice paying for parking and still being hit with a £100 fine.
Anthony Birch, 80, had left his car in the Five Valleys multi-storey car park in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Before heading to the shops with wife Marie, he followed the instructions on the ticket machine and paid for the £1 ticket on his phone, he claimed.
Twenty minutes later, he was concerned the transaction had not worked and so returned and bought a ticket with cash and left it on his dashboard.
