Mum with two babies trapped in Tesco car park for 90 minutes during heatwave slapped with £70 fine
A young mum shopping with her two small babies says she was trapped for an hour and a half trying to exit a Tesco car park in intense heat on match day and was then slapped with a £70 car parking fine.
After finally exiting the car park and making it home, Ellie says she received a car parking fine from Horizon Parking a few days later of £70, which is reduced to £30 if she paid it in 14 days. Ellie, who says she was shopping for just over an hour in Tesco says: "I had to unpack my shopping in the car and give my boys bits of food and some yoghurt to cool them down. I was sat in standstill traffic on the car park for one hour and twenty five minutes.
"I was stressed out when I was stuck in the traffic and my babies were crying. It was awful when I was in my car because everyone was hot and bothered and some were yelling at each other because they had cut each other up or couldn't move anywhere - everybody was in the exact same situation and some people were taking it to a different level - it was just mad.
