    ... the ppc's only patrol the disabled blue badge spaces.

    Are you sure, this sounds highly unlikely to me.  
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.
  • To be clear, I didn't say pay the thing! There was no 'bite the bullet' advice given.  Just a warning about selfish parking by parents who seem to think they have a right to a special bay, when P&C bays are just gimmicks by supermarkets and nothing like a disabled bay.
    No I know you didn't, my point was backing up the misuse of a disabled bay :)

    Yep, it's cropped up on here before, 12,000 free spaces and a helicopter landing pad as well if memory serves.
    They do state you cannot park up and leave the complex (monitored by a PPC I believe) but the place is massive and has numerous entrances/exits so can't possibly be covered.
    Like I said, my lad used to work in the city centre and parked for free at Meadowhell and jumped on the train/tram into the city every day.
    They do monitor the disabled badge bays much more closely though.

    Yes only the disabled bays are managed at this site.
    Great for parking and then tram into city centre.
