If it's like our Asda, when I'm in the UK, just a matter of time before PE rocks up!Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

Maybe the prankster would be interested in examples of PPC free ASDA stores with car park chaos/carmageddon as shown by the above photos.
absolute carnage.From the Plain Language Commission:
"The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"0 -
Absolute scenes indeed - riots in the car park, fighting for spaces! UK drivers can't be trusted to do their shopping without the 'services' of Scumbag-RipOff-PCNsRUs...PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

ASDA is in the heart of the busy seaside town of Newquay, located adjacent to the train station.
Currently there are no parking restrictions. SMART parking were operating their, but a worker in the shop told me that they caused "a lpt of bad feeling when they reduced the alloted time from 90 minutes to 60 minutes and lots of customers were caught out." The shots above were taken yesterday at around noon.Illegitimi non carborundum:)0 -
I parked at Asda, Uttoxeter, this morning. It would "appear" that Smart are still there. Signs are still on lamp posts, too high to read ts & cs and ticket from pay machine shows "Asda Car Park" "Managed By Smart Parking Ltd" on the bottom, left front?
Note - I didn't use the Asda but another shop in the same complex.0 -
Parking Eye have now taken over the Asda car park in Retford. The usual rubbish signs with acres of small print and located much too high to read.What part of "A whop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo" don't you understand?0

I wonder if Asda have provided authorisation for PE to proceed to court for any unpaid PCN? They (Asda) experienced enough of a backlash over Smart Parking PCNs - and Smart hardly ever went anywhere near POPLA, let alone a County Court.

I have recently put asda head office on the spot regarding the changeover to PE and warned them that my 4 grand a year may go to rivals Morrissons who have no parking restrictions at my local supermarket (which is closer than asda)
they have been pondering it for days now, with a "trouble ticket" (reference or incident) issued too
todays headlines about a massive drop in sales wont help them if they think that penalising shoppers with £100 parking eye invoices is going to help win the shoppers back

perhaps new boy Sean Clarke may take note , unlike his predessor Andy Clarke0
