Mum thanks 'unbelievably kind' traffic warden after finding herself in desperate situation

A mum has thanked an 'unbelievably kind' traffic warden who approached her during a desperate situation.

The woman said she had to take her daughter for an 'urgent' PCR coronavirus test, the Liverpool Echo reports.

She left the house in a rush and left her bag at home, meaning she had no change for the parking meter outside the test centre at Heswell Hall on Telegraph Road in Wirral.

But a traffic warden was 'so unbelievably kind' to her and gave her the time she needed to take her daughter for the test, without having to pay for a ticket, she said.

She said: "I just had to take my daughter for an urgent PCR test at Heswall Hall, she was so poorly in my rush I left my bag at home and had no change for the car park meter.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you to traffic warden 396 who was so unbelievably kind when I explained the situation and gave me time to run in and not get a ticket.

"I can’t express my gratitude enough, but if you see this please know how grateful I am, you were a true gentleman.

"Thank you again."

People commented on the mum's post and sent their well wishes to her daughter to get better soon.

One person said: "That's lovely, I hope your daughter is okay too."

.Another added: "Nice to see some decent people are still around. Hope your daughter is better soon."

A third also said: "They’re not bad. They’re doing a job. It’s the job we don’t like."
