A private parking firm has been using questionable tactics to penalise elderly motorists with fines, an investigation has revealed.

The Mirror has discovered that the company – which manages a number of hospital car parks all over the UK – instructs its wardens to target drivers parked in areas where signs are unclear, issue repeat tickets for vehicles left in the same space and issue tickets to people who wouldn't contend them.
