He looked up to see a street sign next to the vehicle - but the permit-holders only rules had been scribbled over with black spray paint. Zahid was sent a £130 fee and was told the sign displayed different permit-only hours to the spaces directly outside his home - which he usually uses.He has now been ordered to fork out a further £330 to get it back.
