Aldi Facebook Page Kicking Off after Parking Eye LBAs

12 flyers printed-off from Pepipoo and distributed around the cafe above Lexden Aldi.
All were picked-up by inquisitive patrons within 30 minutes.

Another small update from me (and bump for this thread).

Called in at Aldi Carnforth today to see if any of the signage had changed- it hadn't- but the ParkingLie ANPR camera is now in place. So looks like the council have achieved nothing...

Still no reply from the councillor as well, so I have got in touch with the local paper and have sent them all the details.:D

Although not named, I assume the parking company in this Aldi news story is Parking Eye:-

A PARKING firm has offered to refund more than £10,000 of parking charges after a mix-up with a North-east restaurant.

Note that eye-watering figure of £10,000!

It was actually nearer £11.5k. And as this was Aberdeenshire then all the registered keepers could have just ignored the bog paper anyway.

Do you notice it is always a innocent mistake ?
The Authorities never do anything about what they were doing as it was all a big misunderstanding.

I guess I know where I'm parking when I'm in Carnforth now, then

If they are ignoring planning rules and failing to enforce after demand by a member of public you can take your compliant firstly to the council in writing and then to the local Government Ombudsman service.

I'm surprised they didn't ignore the letters too, what with them being Scottish and tight-fisted

(Disclaimer: I'm Scottish and originally from that area, although I now live in England.)

Spokesman for Lasan, Ronnie Rahaman, said: “Our business was heavily affected by these parking charges.

I think if I was Ronnie, I'd be seeing my lawyers to press to recover as many of my losses as possible. Parking companies will be very familiar with such a concept!

Thanks for the info Marktheshark. I was hoping that the council, had they bothered to reply to my original letter properly, would have indicated any timescales they have given Aldi to comply. So my job for next week's spare time will be complaints to the head of the council and about the councillor.

PS I haven't heard anything more from the local paper- either they are looking into it, or they aren't interested. :sad:
