Heartbroken families mourning the loss of loved ones have been left outraged after receiving parking fines while visiting a crematorium. The controversial enforcement by the local council has been branded as 'heartless' and 'insensitive' by furious relatives.
Families Targeted During Funerals
Visitors attending funeral services at the crematorium were shocked to find penalty charge notices on their cars, despite being in the midst of emotional farewells. Many claim they were unaware of strict parking restrictions or were simply too distraught to notice signage.
Council Defends Enforcement
The local authority has defended its actions, stating that parking regulations are clearly marked and apply to all visitors equally. A spokesperson insisted that the rules are in place to manage limited space and prevent abuse of the facility.
Public Backlash Grows
The policy has sparked widespread condemnation, with many questioning the council's lack of compassion. One grieving relative told reporters: 'To be worrying about a parking ticket when you're saying your final goodbye is beyond cruel.'
Calls for Policy Review
Local politicians and community leaders are now demanding an immediate review of the parking enforcement policy at the crematorium. Suggestions include introducing a grace period for funeral attendees or implementing a more lenient approach during services.
As the controversy continues, many are calling for common sense to prevail, urging the council to show basic human decency to those going through one of life's most difficult moments.
