Shoppers who popped into a newly opened Lidl store in Hampshire for their weekly shopping got more than they bargained for. Some were shocked to have received parking fines whilst they were in store buying products.
The new store located in Solartron Retail Park opened its doors on September 1, 2022. Its opening times are Monday to Saturday from 8am-10pm and Sundays from 10am-4pm, which are normal hours of operation for the budget supermarket.
However, despite customers shopping until late, the car park which is run by UK Parking Control (UKPC), only allows customers to stay until 9pm. As reported by HampshireLive, Farnborough resident Jason Railton was caught out by this and says the signage in place is unfair.
