Geoff Pugh says he was 'flabbergasted' to receive the £90 penalty charge in Enfield, north London, after stopping for a drive-through coronavirus test

Mr Pugh said he was in the car park for 23 minutes with his wife and two children - aged nine and 11 - and followed all of the advice from staff directing him where to go.Highview Parking said it would cancel any PCNs issued to visitors"incorrectly".

A spokesman said:"The car park terms and conditions and the pay-for-parking system and tariff are set by our client - we do not have any involvement in setting these rules, or indeed when they do or do not charge for parking."We cannot confirm whether or not the car park has been repurposed by Enfield Council, just that we have been asked to suspend enforcement activity on specific days and times where they have agreed to provide space for COVID-19 testing.

"However the car park is still being used for retail during this time. As these are specific dates, we rely on notification of those dates in advance.
