LIDL/Athena Civil Parking Charge Notice

  • Hi everyone, I have just got back from lidl and was parked there for 5 minutes whilst I popped in another shop. I then went to go in lidl to grab a few bits and enter my REG but they were closed as it’s sunday and don’t open til 11. I couldn’t wait around I have things to do today. Does anyone know if they will still issue a parking fine?
    Many thanks

    Who knows ..... the one sure thing is that this is not your fault and the problem lies with Athena for NOT providing the correct facility, hence frustration of contract.

    Read the NEWBIE section for help, then, if you still have a question, start your own thread rather then hijacking one from FOUR years ago. If you really only parked for 5 minutes, you should be covered by grace periods, as you were "checking out the terms and conditions" on the signs before realising shop was closed and would have to park elsewhere.
