The following is an email reply from The Facebook "team" -

Thanks for your email.

Please be assured that all of your comments and emails have been passed to the Aldi team. However, as I've previously said, the team there aren't able to communicate via emails - to clarify, this means they are not able to communicate with external email addresses such as yours.

If you can send me your postal address or a telephone number, I can ensure someone from the team contact you directly regarding the points you've raised.

Many thanks
Jess

Weber Shandwick - who are they?

From their web site:-

A full service global engagement and communications agency, we build and protect brand and company reputations

Best in their sector, best in their discipline but most of all best at joining it all up..

Whatever our many specialisms, at heart we are storytellers.

Well, there you go then ! :beer:

Looks like Aldi have hired a PR firm or at least given their PR firm some more work.

And, once again, in writing they confirm the ILLEGAL nature of their punitive charge - a PENALTY and therefore unenforceable.

Despite warnings from several posters over the past week that they could not, by law, levy penalties they persist in repeating this, so much so that one can only read that they are happy to allow their agent (and, ipso facto, themselves as principal) to break the law.

We are reviewing how the cark park management system works, which includes the issuing of penalty notices. We will continue to ensure we allow sufficient free parking time for Aldi shoppers and that time limits are clearly sign posted in all stores.

This won't look good before a judge if Aldi, as they seem unprepared to stop the PE juggernaut heading that way, allow any of their cases to proceed to court.

They've used the "p" word. Naughty , naughty!

Looks like they've remove the post containing the 'P' word. Hopefully someone got a screen grab.

No it's just the crap Facebook software - it's still there !

They'd also have to delete my post as well to get rid of the evidence

Good. You're right about the software, it is a bit hit-and-miss. I still can't see it, although I could earlier.

This has just been posted:-

Aldi have every intention to abide by section 5.3.5 of the Transport Assessment. We can guarantee that any parents dropping off and picking up children at the adjacent Day Care Nursery will not be receiving penalty charge notices. Thanks for getting in touch.

Note the use (yet again) of the "p" word.
