Roy Beggs MLA has highlighted that a number of unsuspecting shoppers are being caught by the automated Smart Parking controlled fines at the Latharna Retail Park, Larne and are facing fines of up to £100 for staying longer than 3 hours.
Roy Beggs said “There had previously been free parking at the Latharna Retail Park, and now many unsuspecting motorists are being caught out by the new automated camera control system. I have been contacted by a number of motorists who have been caught out for a relatively short overstay and received fines of £60 which would rise to £100. If anyone is in a similar situation, please contact my office on 028 9336 2995 as I have been able to have some fines cancelled due to loopholes in legislation.”
