    Daughter was in Asda Huddersfield a couple of weeks ago and got a begging letter slapped on the windscreen for not displaying her partners disabled badge tut tut.

    Bit of a give away when he gets out of car & into wheelchair!!!

    What does baffle me though with that store, I know a few regulars know it, is that it is a good few miles out of town & there are plenty of areas around to park for free anyway - so why even waste money
    Private Parking Tickets - Make sure you put your Subject Access Request in after 25th May 2018 - It's free & ask for everything, don't forget the DVLA :D

    You are not actually required to display a blue badge in disabled bays on private land, but I suspect you know that?

    ASDAs clearly don't, mind...

    Because the store has fallen for the PPC's propaganda.
    What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?

    noticed the asda near me has amended its signs to change penalty charge to "parking charge notification" there are green stickers over the original signs...

    Yes they do. I told them.

    was told by the kind lady that it is nothing to do with them

    It is to do with them.

    The parking company is contracted by the store, and is their agent.

    They can call it what ever they like, it's still an unenforcable penalty.

    I think it is their way of telling customers:
    WE DO NOT WANT YOUR CUSTOM
    Why else would you put fake parking tickets on peoples cars and then have the audacity to actually take peoples money from them, particularly the sick and disabled.
    Is this the actions of a company who wants your custom in its store ?
    I would say not.

    I got a ticket (TCP) in the ASDA carpark at Waterlooville Hampshire for causing an obstruction. (parked over the white line) even though the bay on my left was in fact half a bay so no one could use it anyway. So, how long until i get my first bit of post asking for some money? Thanks
