towed it away and then charged Ruth Ducker, 44, £840 for doing it! She protested — but it took two months for the council to admit what had happened, by then fines had piled up to £2,240 it was only when Ruth’s MP Kate Hoey took up the case that the fines were waived, Lambeth Council (who else?) said yesterday: “This was an unacceptable case, we are very sorry.”
He said Ruth had been offered compensation of £150, which is hardly the cost to hire a car for a week, never mind two months, NPC I hope the police investigate your actions and some one goes to court, but I doubt it!

This Is Absolutely Disgraceful,
National Car Parks (NPC) lifted a car, painted double yellow lines under it,
towed it away and then charged Ruth Ducker, 44, £840 for doing it! She protested — but it took two months for the council to admit what had happened, by then fines had piled up to £2,240 it was only when Ruth’s MP Kate Hoey took up the case that the fines were waived, Lambeth Council (who else?) said yesterday: “This was an unacceptable case, we are very sorry.”
He said Ruth had been offered compensation of £150, which is hardly the cost to hire a car for a week, never mind two months, NPC I hope the police investigate your actions and some one goes to court, but I doubt it!
