    Yes we have seen this before. 

    As nosferatu1001 says - huge ambiguity in the contract then...!

    This long drawn out saga (started Oct 2019) seems to be coming to a conclusion and details can be posted shortly when done and dusted if anyone is interested.
    Yes please!

    Well done. I admire your tenacity and I'm glad you got a successful outcome in the end. As someone who does not have a BB but regularly drives a family member who does, and a disabled family member who does not, it is encouraging to say the least.

    I have included a comment about permitted use of a disabled bay without a BB in the new CoP public consultation thread.

    THE PERMIT

    I do not want to risk any come back, if any,  by posting a photo of the permit itself but will describe as best I can.

    It is similar to the old car tax disc, with a light green background and a watermark of small continuous "Horizon 
    Parking" in white all over it.

    The writing in black letters says:-

               Horizon
               Parking

    Horizon Parking (Tesco Only)

    Disabled Parking


    Does this only apply to Tesco Car parks managed by Horizon?

    Many thanks for your comments and will take on board all the suggestions etc.

    @Castle -  yes  -  the accompanying letter says "This can be used to park in disabled bays solely Tesco,(sic) all other conditions
    apply when parking in line with the terms and conditions on the signs"

    @C-m -  Sainsbury only put my VRM on their white list  -  when change of vehicle they are to be advised of new VRM. I have PM'd you with the very nice lady's details.

    Oh dear.
    The reason I continued with this saga really was to obtain a definitive reversal of the negative EASS response to my complaint.

    I was therefore slightly dismayed when my MP was unwilling to refer the matter to the relevant Minister/ dept. for  adjudication.

    I also mentioned in my "Update" post that my MP had sent all representations to a gentleman whose name I had not encountered before. There were no details regarding employer, job title or department.

    As I was about to email my thanks to my MP I thought I would Google the unknown name. When including "Tesco" with the name I found someone who looked promising. I included the name, job description and department and asked in the email if my thanks could be passed on, if appropriate. My MP has now confirmed that the person I included is correct.

    So I now know why my MP contacted this person instead of forwarding to Minister/dept. with the risk that it might end up on the desk of another clueless clerk, just like the ones in the Tesco CEO's office.

    @Coupon-mad -  would you like me to PM you with the details of this person for your records?. I believe he is even more relevant than the Insurable Risks person you already have. I also think that because of this persons position and department we can infer that the EASS are wrong as no comment has been made by him regarding your rebuttal. 

    I can include the brief but to the point email exchange between MP and this person if required. 

    (Should have known my MP would not let me down - hasn't yet - hence "Oh dear".)
