Colleen, a retired carer from Sutton, Surrey, said: ‘I’ve been going there for over 10 years, and this has never happened before.‘I didn’t go in for petrol, and I didn’t go in to park – I was just in the queue for the car wash.’‘I’d like to know whether those cars were fined as well as they were also queuing just like me.Colleen has appealed the decision.
