Dozens of motorists visiting a Costa Coffee shop have have found themselves mistakenly fined £90 for parking at a Lidl supermarket next door.
CCTV cameras covering the Lidl car park in Hull, East Yorks, monitor vehicles to ensure they don't over stay a 90 minute free parking limit.
However they have also recorded vehicles exiting which have actually been parked in the neighbouring Costa Coffee store where customers can enjoy three hours free parking.
Sharron Paragreen, a retired teaching assistant, visited the coffee chain last month and was parked for just an hour and 53 minutes, well below the three-hour limit which was in place at the Costa car park.
But she was hit with a whopping £90 fine because the Lidl's car park had a maximum stay of 90 minutes.
