He appealed the fine
A minibus driver has voiced his frustration after he was fined for parking at a bus stand he has used for years. Jacob Marshall, 28, is a bus driver for Marshalls of Sutton on Trent, which regularly drives into Nottingham city centre to drop off and collect passengers for day trips and night outs.
He explained that he was fined £70, but if it was paid within a set period then it would be reduced to £35. However, Jacob is appealing the fine as he feels he had a right to park at the stand for bus parking, because he was driving a minibus which is taxed as a bus and has to have a licensed bus driver.
He stated that "as a company it would have to evaluate if it's worth going into Nottingham" as it feels the city is making it difficult for visitors to go to, and that they have to consider the wellbeing of its staff. Jacob continued: "We run buses into Nottingham every day seven days a week.
