The limo entered a bus lane while dropping the mourners at a pub in Glasgow city centre in the lashing rain
An undertaker has won her appeal against Glasgow City Council after she was slapped with a bus lane fine for dropping off a bereaved family at a pub during a rainstorm. East Kilbride-based Hester and Lalli Independent Funeral Care was handed a fixed penalty notice after moving into a bus lane to park outside Grant Arms, where a wake was being held on October 11.
The firm was slapped with the fine in the weeks after the incident, and their original appeal to waive the charge was rejected by Glasgow City Council. A spokesperson for the local authority said at the time that the fixed penalty notice was "appropriate" as the driver had "ignored the road restrictions".
"I never thought this was going to happen. Nobody wins against Glasgow City Council. It’s a relief and more than anything else the fact that we won it, we know we have done a good job by looking out for our families."
