Overview

  • Rob Swaine, 68, says he feels targeted after a homemade, official-looking yellow slip was placed on his windscreen outside his Hornby Road home opposite HMP Liverpool.
  • The handwritten note read, “No parking here s***head. Be told,” and was left anonymously.
  • He previously received a June penalty for staying four hours in a two-hour bay and alleges selective enforcement and confusing signage.
  • Liverpool City Council says Hornby Road has a two-hour limit and nearby Hornby Close operates residents-only bays from 8am to 6pm.
  • No culprit for the fake ticket has been identified, and Mr Swaine has sought a meeting with the council, which advises motorists to challenge penalties via its website.
