They have now received a fine for parking there over a 90 minute maximum. It says on the penalty sheet that signs are clearly displayed stating the parking restrictions in force. Does anybody know if there is actual lighting in the Aldi Car Park that enables signage showing the restrictions to be read in the dark? Also has anybody else been caught out parking in this area after the store has closed at night?
Thanks.

Is it? I thought all council car parks were £1 from 6pm to 8am?
Parked in an Aldi car park to go bowling and didn't check for any restrictions. Pay up.

As for restrictions, it all depends on if they are clearly visible during the hours of darkness.

If you have they will be able to get you as you will, or should have been, aware of the parking restrictions before. Just a bit of a legal thing !!

If you read my original post you'll see that it was my wife and daughter who parked there. With regards to the actual Parking Charge Notice (Note that there is no use of the word 'Fine'), I have it on very good legal authority that it would be laughed out of court, assuming that it got that far. These companies survive on scaring the wits out of people with threats. For ever Notice that is ignored, there are many more who pay up. That's how they make their money!
