Furious Mr Evans - who presents arts programmes - said an officious attendant made him pay £4 to set up his easel in a parking bay on the waterfront at Seahouses, Northumberland.
"Bureaucracy gone mad," thundered Charles Evans. "If a car had arrived, we could have moved quite easily."
Warden Cyril Jones said he hadn’t asked Charles to move. “I just explained to him that if he wanted to stay there, it was a parking bay which we had to charge for.” Mr Jones said he had clashed with people before over parking. At first I used to worry about it, but it’s like water off a duck’s back now. I usually say to people, ‘If you can give me an excuse I haven’t heard before, I’ll let you park for free’.”
He admitted he had never encountered an artist with an easel in a parking bay before.
