'I have the most parking tickets in Birmingham'
Available for over a year
A man who believes he has received more than 300 parking tickets has accused Birmingham City Council of "horrific" treatment of people during the appeal process. Richard Johnson had an agreement with parking authorities allowing him to load and unload outside of his city centre jewellery shop, which he owned for more than 40 years. But the 77-year-old claims he was regularly fined by unaware wardens over the years, leaving him to fight to get them overturned. Mr Johnson insisted he never paid a penny in fines, but said the appeal procedure caused him "incalculable stress", for which the council has apologised.
