Community protection officers handed out a £75 fine after spotting the DIY parking bay.

A disabled driver has been fined after attempting to reserve a space outside their home by illegally painting their own parking bay.

Wheelchair-bound Elaine Bacon, 55, was handed a £75 fine after her husband marked out the wonky disabled parking bay.

A spokeswoman for Nottingham City Council said: “They have attempted to reserve themselves a space outside their home on Laurie Avenue by placing unauthorised markings on the road, resulting in a £75 fine.

“Only the highway authority is allowed to carry out such road markings, but in fact no longer provides advisory bays like this and the road may in any case be too narrow to safely accommodate one.”
