A WOMAN who was stuck in queuing traffic at Kingswood Retail Park while Christmas shopping has had a parking ticket overturned.
Sarah Campbell, 29, was one of dozens of motorists stuck in two-hour queues trying to get into and out of the retail park.
She received a parking ticket for going over the free limited parking time of three hours because she was unable to leave the car park queues.
"I was stuck in the queues getting out," she said. "Because I was in the queues, I went over the amount of time you are allowed in there.
"It is very hard to get in, find a space, get all your Christmas shopping, get food and then get out in three hours.
"They have not got any allowance for it.
"I was really annoyed about it.
"With so many people there in the same situation there must be more who have received tickets as well.
"Nobody realised that it could happen."
A spokesman for ParkingEye, which operates the car park, said: "ParkingEye operates an audited appeals process, encouraging motorists to appeal.
"In this case, the driver appealed and provided supporting evidence, so the parking charge has been cancelled."
