    Bad grammar and punctuation aside, I wonder, since some of the heavyweights are reading this post, just what is a fair balance for Tescos et others and parking.

    Now bear with me:- I shop at Tesco, partly to save money. If the scenario painted by the OP is real, and I can't park there because of people who have simply used Tesco as a free car park to go to local attractions or any other place, then I may be prevented from shopping there, denying me the opportunity to save a few ££ and Tesco losing my £70 per week shopping bill.

    Now I understand that these "fines" are not fines and that there is only a very miniscule chance of one of these charges going to court, and I really loathe the scammers who prey on the unsuspecting in dubious car parking areas as highlighted in many, many posts on this forum, but I wonder just what is the right balance that can keep !!!!!!!!!!s from filling up scarce parking resources provided by retail outlets for their customers.

    So, what is a fair way of operating, in your opinion?

    (Hope I have spell checked and grammar checked this post!)

    fair point. It is a bit difficult for them.

    My local Morrisons is patrolled by CP Plus (no sniggering at the back please). Or rather not patrolled since they appear to have given up trying. Always full weekdays because of location.

    Erm, lots of 'other' stuff goes on there as well! The store management are not interested and yet one thing would be simple.
    It being their land and if they want people to adhere to toddler/disabled space parking -- then simply refuse entry to the store to anyone who transgresses?

    Funnily enough, they seem more interested in such people spending money inside.
