Residents in a UK city have been left fuming after being fined for parking outside their own homes. A delay in issuing parking permits led to some residents in a Nottingham suburb being wrongly fined.

       Parking in Ebers Road, Carrington, has recently become for those with paid permits only, but Nottingham City Council has taken four weeks to get the passes out to drivers after they complete an online form.

       The council has blamed the delays on issues with its permit processing system after the ￡35 charge was introduced for residents in their second year of having a permit with the first year being free.

       Lucy Brine, who lives on the street, told the BBC she ordered her paid permit on 21 March - 11 days before the deadline, but had not received it a month later.

       She said: "It's ridiculous, the traffic wardens are here that often, they should be paying council tax. We don't know what to do."
