March 28 - £100 fine for taking an extra 12 minutes
Alright, Newquay!
It’s the last day before the bank holiday weekend.
I guess this is the day where every employee in the country is smiling and the bosses are pulling their hair out. I’m just happy because I bought the “wrong” easter eggs for the kids, knowing full well I’d get to eat them! 😀
Anyway, let’s get to today’s issue…

£100 fine for taking an extra 12 minutes
(Image: Luc Lacey)
A couple visiting Newquay in Cornwall faced a £100 fine for allegedly taking too long to purchase a parking ticket when the app provided by Smart Parking wasn't functioning.
Luc Lacey and his partner Sophie Barnett parked at the Newquay Golf Club before heading to the beach.
Luc attempted to use the Smart Parking app as indicated on the meter but found it wasn't operational and didn't have cash for the machine.
After struggling with the app freezing, he eventually paid through another app, Ring Go, ensuring he returned to the car with sufficient time left on the ticket.
Despite this, they received a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) later, stating they had unpaid parking for the 12 minutes it took to find a functioning app!
If you ever find yourself in a situation like this, go and talk to Citizens Advice.

🏠 Property Watch
Any time I see a property listed in Pentire my eyes open up. Now I am also a big fan of old-school properties so seeing this one hasn’t been fixed up has my attention.
Anyone got a spare 800k?
