The police will probably refer him to OFT or NCAT as a first port of call. The SM is more than likely to be in on it too. It is very unusual for someone to be pulled up like this for a first offense. Either they are very intolerant, which doesn’t seem very likely judging by the existing situation with that parking spot, or they were waiting for just such a situation to pounce on some poor unsuspecting resident & get the repairs done for free.
