Aldi Facebook Page Kicking Off after Parking Eye LBAs

Another gem from Aldi's Facebook site from somebody who think they know the law:-

And just to set the record straight supermarket car parks are covered by the road traffic act not classed as private land any more.

A lot of missinformation from people who think they know it all. Some of these people just don't get it. Parking Eye only does over stays or ones who haven't entered their reg number in. Very few if any of their cameras cover disabled bays etc

That is true if there is an accident and an insurance claim is instigated, but in terms of PPC tickets its nonsense.

If it were the case Aldi etc would be getting Councils to undertake traffic management, but as the Council don't own the land they can't. They tried it at our local Asda and it failed due to this issue.

Someone on the facebook page says that there is a BBC programme comming up, without going back over all posts, any news when?

It was 'your money - their tricks' this week. Still available on iplayer.

Seems Aldi still haven't learnt from their mistakes.
Parking Eye currently installing anpr at the Bradford branch.

Should be interesting as car phone warehouse and farmfoods share same car par park.

That is going to a ripe one for the scammers, you go into the entrance where parking eye will have cameras, go over by farmfoods spend a couple of hours there , then leave and you get a ticket, even though you weren't in Aldi's part of the car park, a recipe for disaster. And look where it is, in the middle of somewhere that is unlikely to be abused by the looks of things

Indeed it will as there is no separate parking areas for each of the stores.

Be interested on what the signs say on this, also whether its the landowner if its not the retailer who is responsible

Thanks, saw it, better than the average and barely a "fine" in sight, though they did get the popla adjudication a bit mixed.

And if there is another entrance not covered by the Aldi cameras.

Anybody fancy driving though the car-park in the morning before drving back though in the evening to get a ticket for staying X hours :rotfl:
