Kevin Smith, 68, is fined £200 by East Midlands Airport after authorities issue two separate £100 penalties for parking in the airport’s rapid drop-off zone. According to reports, Smith uses the drop-off area when visiting the airport and says he pays the required £5 charge on each occasion. The Daily Record and The Mirror both report that he receives two £100 fines for the same type of incident, resulting in the total £200. One report specifies that the fines are issued despite Smith paying for his parking time on both visits, while another describes him contesting the penalties as “unfair.” The coverage agrees that the locations involved are the airport’s drop-off zone at East Midlands Airport and that Smith was visiting on two separate occasions. All sources present the dispute as a case in which the payer believes the charges were settled at the time, but fines are still issued. No resolution or appeal outcome is reported in the provided articles.
