Disabled Nottingham veteran fined for parking outside his home

Mark Johannsen was still in the process of getting a parking permit but thought 'common sense would prevail'

A disabled Nottingham veteran says "functional jobsworths at their worst" are forcing him to pay fines for parking outside his new home. Mark Johannsen, a 62-year-old former member of the SAS, was still in the process of getting a parking permit when he was slapped with three fixed penalty notices, but thought "common sense would prevail".

Mr Johannsen, a blue badge holder due to his mobility issues, moved to Albany House in Pym Street, St Ann's in November. "I moved in and immediately applied for resident parking," he said.However, due to issues with his insurance company he said the permit took a while to process. The city council said Mr Johannsen was repeatedly asked not to park his Range Rover until all the correct information had been provided and the permit approved, which eventually happened on February 5.
