COUNCIL bosses have agreed to scrap parking tickets issued to two blood transfusion service vans as they waited outside a blood donor session.
A Bradford Council warden stuck penalty charge notices on two NHS Blood and Transplant service vans in a limited parking area outside Ilkley's King's Hall and Winter Garden, Station Road last Tuesday (July 22).
Regular blood donors who attend the well-supported sessions run by the service in Ilkley were angered by the fines.
"It's ridiculous," said one donor. "They've been coming here for years."
But the Council says it will drop the fines and instead discuss parking arrangements with the lifesaving service, which collects almost 2 million blood donations a year nationally.
