A woman has slammed a cold-hearted parking warden who fined her as she collected a steak pie for her disabled mum. An Ayr parking attendant has come under fire again after another disgruntled resident was left counting the cost for venturing into town to pick up dinner.We previously told how a fine-happy attendant has been causing havoc amongst traders in the bottom end of the town.Business owners of Newmarket Street previously fumed after being on the receiving end of countless bookings.Now a resident has piled on the pressure on the same enforcement officer accusing him of being 'smug'.Martha McCrone was stunned when she was given a ticket after running into the shop to grab a ready-made order at Pollok Williamson’s butchers on Ayr High Street earlier this month.Martha had taken her elderly mum Agnes, who is blind and wheelchair bound, into the town after their local shop in Forehill had run out of orders.

But she was left full of regret after the officer dished out a fine despite her only leaving her car for just minutes on Tuesday, November 4.A furious Martha told Ayrshire Live: “I can’t believe I was booked when just going into the butchers to collect a steak pie.“It was at 4pm and it was pouring of rain.

I have a blue badge for my mum but there was no disabled bays at all.“There was work going on at the other side of the road.

I parked in a loading bay and walked two doors down to the shop.“When I got back the attendant was there. I went up and tried to explain.
