Just parked up on Central 12. Went to get my parking ticket and before I got back to my car, which was only on the next line, the parking attendant was already writing a ticket out!!! Beware. ??
I have been travelling to Central Park Retail weekly since it first opened.
I used to visit with my disabled parents; my father is 83 and my mother 77.
The over zealous actions of the Civil Enforcement Parking officers have put and end to this.
My father forgot to bring his blue badge for disabled parking on one occasion. We walked into The Range to get change for parking and when I came out and purchased a ticket, there was a parking fine on my windscreen.
I appealed but my appeal was rejected.
Apparently the parking attendant waited 6 minutes before issuing a fine.
I can only assume he must be blind as he didn’t notice the obvious mobility issues facing my parents and the difficulty I experienced helping them out of my car.
We have not returned to Central Park since.
