This is the moment a traffic warden slapped £70 parking tickets on two minibuses carrying disabled children in Nottingham city centre, after they raised hundreds of pounds for a homeless charity by singing in a carol concert.
Labour-run Nottingham City Council today apologised to the school and has since revoked both fines.
The youngsters, many in wheelchairs, were being lifted into two specially-adapted ambulances in Nottingham City centre when the enforcement officer wrote out two penalty notices before walking away.
The twelve children from Oak Field School and Sports College in Bilborough, Nottinghamshire, were returning from the concert on Monday afternoon which raised £370 when they were hit with the fines.
“I think this parking warden should be bloody shamed of himself! During the most happy & festive time of the year he has brought bad publicity on the city of Nottingham. I think that the City Council should now donate this parking warden’s weeks’ wages to the school’s charity.”
