A driver has vented her frustration after getting a fine for a car park she said she never used. Elaine Henty has told how she took her car into a garage in Shoreham Port to be serviced only to receive a parking ticket for a nearby car park her trouble. Businesses in the area have reported that customers have received tickets despite never having set foot in the car park.
Ms Henty’s daughter Stacey, 53, told The Argus that her 74-year-old mother had driven into Shoreham Port from the Riverside entrance off Albion Street on August 19. The Hove resident added: “Because she entered and exited through that road she was given a parking ticket. “Even though she reached out to the parking company with evidence of the service they declined her appeal.
“My mum would have just paid the fine but out of principle we are going to fight it to the death. “I feel a real sense of injustice here. I’m very distressed and very angry that someone would be subjected to be going through an independent appeals process over this.
