Jim Mann
Jim, who lives in Southwick, said he feels "let down" by the council.
He said: "Myself and other Healthwalk leaders religiously go out in all weathers and we are giving our time for free.
"We get back in after a five mile walk and now have to go through this rigmarole of scanning in tickets - all for one square of paper which I could put in my windscreen to say 'I'm a Healthwalk leader and I'm exempt'.
"I thought it would be a straight-forward thing to just get a permit without all this messing about, as I'm there on council business.
