This mischievous youngster has landed her mum a pounds30 parkingfine.

Three-year-old Emily slipped an old pay and display ticketinside her mum's resident's parking permit, partially covering thecard.

And Jennifer Coull was furious to find Maroon Dragoons had tapeda fixed penalty notice to the windscreen of her legally-parked Saab.

The 35-year-old, who lives in Mile End Avenue, Rosemount, withpartner Ken, 36, said she had even nodded hello to the parkingattendants when she passed them earlier.

The full-time mum said: "Emily likes to play with pay anddisplay tickets because they are like stickers.

"She must have slipped it into the permit wallet when I wasn'tlooking.

"To get a fine over it is ridiculous - they should have a wordwith their staff about common sense.

"It has caused me a lot of stress and hassle. No wonder parkingwardens have such a bad reputation.

"I have lodged a complaint about this and theycan take me tocourtover it because I am notgoing to pay."

Jennifer is being backed by her neighbour, James Sinclair.

The 67-year-old claims he saw the wardens giving the mum herticket and told them it was a mistake, but to no avail.

He said: "I've lived here for 32 years and I've never had aproblem. It's silly."

A spokesman for Aberdeen City Council said: "Each case isconsidered on an individual basis and we will take all circumstancesinto account."
