A Leeds resident has expressed his frustration after receiving a “crazy” parking fine after donating blood.

Rob Bridgewater said that he registered his car while giving blood at the Mercure Leeds Parkway Hotel in Adel on February 26 and was shocked to receive a £100 parking fine in the post weeks later. Mr Bridgewater appealed the decision to the company that operates the hotel’s car park - Smart Parking - but it was rejected. The company has responded saying that it checked its systems and found there was “no validation” made against Mr Bridgewater’s vehicle.

” His appeal to Smart Parking was rejected so he said that he is now looking at going to the independent appeals body for parking charge notices - POPLA. Mr Bridgewater said: “If my appeal has been rejected it might help to know they have got some negative publicity.” A spokesperson for Smart Parking said: “The car park at Mercure Leeds Parkway Hotel has clear signage throughout advising motorists on how to use the car park.
