Around 15 cars were ticketed in the NCP Broadwater Bridge car park, which is next to the Teville Gate multi-storey car park.

NCP said the drivers' season tickets, although in date, were for the multi-storey car park and not the surface car park, despite it being less than 20 metres away and situated in the area known to locals as Teville Gate.

Heather Plowman noticed two ticket inspectors photographing the cars and issuing the tickets from her office window at Careways Agency between 11.30am and noon on Tuesday, March 23.

She said: "When I saw them ticketing all those cars, I assumed a mistake must have been made. It was very odd to see a car park full of ticketed vehicles."

Michelle McCarthy, from NCP, said: "The passes had been given to employees of a local company.

"They parked in Broadwater Bridge car park, though technically they were not allowed to."

Michelle said NCP would revoke the parking tickets to resolve the matter in the interest of their customers.
