The husband of a terminally ill woman has successfully fought a hospital parking fine.
Malcolm Munson (69) had tried to pay the £1 parking charge at Bostonâs Pilgrim Hospital during a half-hour visit on February 26.
The machine had returned his coin, stating that he had 30 minutes free parking - but he later received a letter demanding that he pay £42.

After calls from the Guardian, United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust waived the fee and confirmed 30 minutesâ free parking is still offered at the hospital.
Mr Munson, who is also a Blue Badge holder, had been to hospital for a regular appointment with wife Sandra (69), who was diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer and has defied doctorsâ expectations.
