Mark James fined for double yellow parking
Carmarthenshire council chief Mark James has been fined for double-yellow parking.
The incident happened near a council car park.
There have been calls for the chief executive of Carmarthenshire council to apologise after he was given a penalty for parking on double-yellow lines.
Mark James was fined £30 after stopping on a street just metres away from a council public car park.
Arwyn Davies, who chairs the Carmarthen Civic Society, said Mr James should have been setting an example to the public.
In a statement, Mr James accepted that he had parked illegally.
“I parked briefly and accept that I should not have. It has cost me £30,” said Mr James.
