Parking Charge Asda Marina

[shingle]

Hi All

Apologies as I know that this is an issue that is sometimes covered on the board but my eldest has received a parking charge notice from Smart Parking. It relates to overstaying 15 mins in the Asda Marina car park. I seem to remember in previous threads many have said that these are not enforceable, is this still the case?

Cheers Chaps

The marina is ridiculous for parking. We went to the cinema and wanted to stay for lunch - until we realised we only had half an hour left on the parking. You would think they would want people to stay around

Can't you go in the multi-story and by-pass this issue?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Isnt the multi storey free all day?

 

[shingle]

Yeah he should have done and realizes this now, but didn't want to park in two different places whilst he got his shopping and did a couple of other things

Are these tickets enforceable

Or maybe Asda want their car park to be available for shoppers at their store!!

But the parking limit includes the multi-storey too - that makes no sense. I can understand why the Asda car park has a limit, but not the multi-storey

If only there was a free for 4 hours multi-storey to park in nearby...

If your son has a receipt for his shopping, you might find that Asda will be able to revoke the parking charge even though it is not they who enforce it.

That said, I'm sure most on here will advise to ignore the charge while bracing yourself for the succession of threatening letters through the post. Not nice.

Does it ?

Thats news to me. I've always taken the multi-story to be a freebie, been using it for years when we go to the cinema and a bite to eat, which is nearly always 2 hours+. I've never once come back to a ticket.

Unless that's changed in the past six months then yes. Sounds like they don't enforce it too much

Your son should appeal using a template from MSE ( google MSE Smart Parking ). It will get rejected and he should then appeal to POPLA. At the same time he should have a go at Asda. Good news is that Smart have never done court - so he could just ignore it but I'd recommend doing the appeals. What he shouldn't do is pay it.

Well there ya go then.

I didn't actually realise it was a 4 hour limit tbh, but as you say, can't see me ever wanting or needing to stay longer than that. Unless I'm seeing a Lord of the Rings type EPIC, plus scoffage.

Multistory has 4 hr limit

Must be me, but I don't understand this mentality where people think they can appeal every parking charge, even when they know they have overstayed the time limit. These same people would moan like hell if they couldn't park for shopping because people had parked all day and gone somewhere else. It's not exactly tricky to read the signs and set a reminder on your phone, and when you cock up it's your fault.

Everyone is always looking for someone else to blame.

I'd get a bus then.

Then I could get drunk as well.
