A Liverpool grandfather believes he is being singled out over parking after discovering a menacing ticket on his vehicle.

Rob Swaine, 68, has confronted  Liverpool Council after he suspects he was deliberately picked on for punishment over his car being stationed in a bay near his residence opposite HMP Liverpool on Hornby Road.

Nevertheless, the situation has now apparently intensified as the former cab driver shared a photograph with the Liverpool Echo of a makeshift parking notice left on his vehicle.

Contained within an official-looking yellow slip, a crude, intimidating message had been placed inside.

Rob, who has resided in the neighbourhood for 36 years, said he wished to lodge a complaint about what he perceived were discrepancies around fines being handed out.

It was then he discovered a handwritten notice on his car.

It read: "No parking here s***head. Be told."

The ticket was left anonymously on the windscreen of Mr Swaine's car outside his residence.

The grandfather, who has also complained about incomplete double yellow lines and residents' parking spaces in his street, explained how in June he was handed a fine for parking for four hours in a two hour space.

Mr Swaine claimed that a parking attendant only pursued his vehicle when others could have been issued with a penalty.

He said: "I know I'm getting targeted. I'm not denying the car was there, if I've broken the rules then fine.

"I just want to meet someone from the council to say we've got a problem here and the signs aren't right. Their job is to make sure every car is being checked.

"If these signs are wrong, we've been getting parking tickets unnecessarily.

"I'm paying for a ticket and I shouldn't have to if that's the case."

A representative from Liverpool City Council clarified: "The limited waiting parking bays on Hornby Road are available for anyone to park in. There is a two-hour limit on the road and any car found to have stayed beyond this limit may be issued a parking fine.

"Hornby Close has a series of parking bays for residents only from 8am to 6pm, which are signposted.

"During these hours, cars that do not have a valid permit may be issued a parking fine if they are left in the bays.

"Anyone who believes a Penalty Charge Notice was issued unfairly may appeal it through the council website."
