UKPC - hiding free parking information.

Visited Stretford Arndale today, parking for blue badge holders is free although you'd be hard pressed to find the information. There are signs and pay machines throughout the car park, in very small writing on the UKPC signs which are high up but not the pay machines which are at eye level it states parking is free for blue badge holders. At the end of the row of disabled bays by the entrance there is a pay machine but no sign or information about free parking, so unless a disabled driver crossed the car park to read one of the signs they'd have no idea. :mad:

Could it be greed by the owners helped by UKPC?

    Blue badges don't mean squat on private car parks, so they're not hiding anything.

    Irrelevant. Read the post again you will find they are hiding the free parking for blue badge holders information.

    I agree with you morrisoscar - this is sharp practice but exactly as expected from PPC World.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
