The Daily Mail are great for picking up on these things, in this case Bath & North East Somerset Council have painted a bus stop around a parked truck, and then issued it with a PCN. According to the article, there were cones marking out the bus bay, but they were moved (by ‘pranksters’) to enclose the already parked truck. When the workmen arrived later they presumably decided that the driver had parked inside the cones, and perhaps deserved to get a ticket for his troubles.
The council has apparently admitted the error and will cancel the PCN as long as the driver actually appeals it.
