Aldi Facebook Page Kicking Off after Parking Eye LBAs

Aldi's reply to someone complaining about "abuse" of Disabled spaces,

Aldi UK Hi Merv, thank you for contacting us. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Mother and baby and disabled parking bays are provided for the convenience of users who require additional space. The Parking Eye cameras are not able to detect the misuse of spaces. If a member of the public reports the issue to the Store Manager, he / she can, at their discretion, choose to contact Aldi’s Parking Management Department to issue a charge to a motorist misusing the spaces. We hope this helps. Thanks again, Aldi UK Facebook Team

Hmmm how does that work then? So the person filling out the form has no images, doesn't witness the parking, and doesn't know themselves whether this is happening. This is open to abuse!

I would imagine that the manager must actually witness the 'abuse' (e.g actually go out to car park and see). Problem with this is that there is no real way of challenging the evidence and the PCN (other than the usual GPEOL, signage etc) until the matter goes to court. Also, does a store manager really want the hassle of going to court and essentially 'fighting' their customer. If the store manager doesn't witness the actual breach then he would have to ensure that he gets all of the contact details of the witness and inform them that they may have to go to court. This is surely a cost saving exercise so that the PPC's/Aldi don't have to pay for staff to actually 'patrol' the car park. The manager/witness would also have to be completely sure that the 'offender' has no disability (mental or physical) and just not in receipt of (or simply not displaying) a blue badge.

Anyone know the lovely Rachel's registration plate. I'm sure I'll see it in a disabled spot if I try hard enough.
Also what is Aldi’s Parking Management Department. If that's the case how come customer services are best placed to deal with tickets.

"Mother and baby and disabled parking bays are provided for the convenience of users who require additional space."

Not quite correct "Aldi". In the case of disabled bays they are not just a "convenience" but a requirement in law.

An education course in the Equality Act for the lovely two ladies in the parking department at Swindon and/or WS is clearly the case -at the same time send Parking Eye on one too!
