Woman fined for parking one inch outside of bay

A council has refused to rescind a traffic warden's parking fine on a heavily-pregnant woman.

Paula Maguire, 27, from Deganwy, Conwy, was fined £30 after parking one inch (2.5cm) outside a bay at Llandudno.

Her car's back wheel was overlapping the bay at Trinity Square on what was to be her last driving trip.

Ms Maguire, who is expecting twins, appealed to the council but was told the £30 fine still stood as incorrect parking could "endanger" road users.

"My bump touches the steering wheel and it's difficult to park", she said.

She appealed to the council but received a letter ordering her to pay the fine.
