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'.
He said: 'I have got friends who were killed, it doesn't seem right when you're disabled and served your country.'
Nottingham City Council said Mr Johannsen's original application was lacking in vital details, and said this was not fixed until months later despite repeated attempts to contact him.
Mr Johannsen, a blue badge holder due to his mobility issues, moved to Albany House in Pym Street, St Ann's in November.
