A British city could be forced to repay drivers for parking fines after a ticketed man pointed out that a bus lane sign lacked the word only, the man said. Derek Brocklehurst successfully argued to have the Manchester City Council toss a $43 ticket for parking in the bus lane after he pointed out that the sign allowing buses, bicycles and black cabs to use the lane did not include the word only, the Daily Mail reported Monday. Brocklehurst said he has helped 20 people escape similar fines for parking in the same area before the sign was corrected in March, and he is urging anyone else fined during the erroneous sign's tenure to come forward and demand their money back. The regulations state that along with the blue circular sign indicating a bus, a cycle and a taxi, there should also be an accompanying sign bearing the word 'only,' Brocklehurst said.

A COUNCIL has suspended 30 staff after racist and pornographic emails were discovered on its computers. Images described as 'extremely nasty' were found during a routine search of computer equipment by Manchester City Council, which has launched an investigation.
