Penalty notices bearing a city council logo have been left on vehicles on Mallaig Avenue in Dundee.

Residents said it follows ongoing issues with commuters and cars from nearby streets parking there.

Some locals even said they sympathised with whoever left the tickets.

There are no road markings prohibiting parking on the street but the notices said drivers had breached a regulation and incurred a £60 penalty.

John Gibson, 63, a retired civil servant who has lived in the area for 18 months, said: “There can be problems here with staff from Ninewells Hospital using the on-street parking.

“At first glance, you might think the parking tickets are the genuine article but on closer inspection, you can see they aren’t legitimate.”

Jen Laughlin, 39, who has lived in the area for more than a year, said she has have a degree of sympathy for the person responsible.

Another woman, who declined to be named, said: “I’m in support of anything that might stop people who don’t live here from parking in the area.”

A spokeswoman for Dundee City Council said: “These tickets are not ours and therefore have no validity.”
