Prince Ameyaw owed Croydon Council £14,000
A Croydon cabbie is celebrating after the council said it would scrap almost all of the 100 fines he racked up for entering a restricted zone near his home.
The 27-year-old wasn’t sure exactly how many fines he had been issued, but said it was more than 100, for driving through the Parsons Mead low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) repeatedly in his work as an Uber and Bolt driver.
He lives on Nelson Close. Residents of this road are allowed to drive through the LTN, but have to apply for a free permit to do so.
The father-of-two initially didn’t realise he would need this as he already has a £130 parking permit for the area, and thought this would allow him to enter the restricted zone.
