A cinema-goer has criticised a lack of signage in a Bristol city centre car park after he was locked out on New Year’s Eve. He was unaware of the difference in times for the early closure of The Galleries car park and was subsequently handed a hefty ticket price for leaving his car there overnight.
Tom Ashton had parked at The Galleries car park on New Year’s Eve to catch the 3.15pm showing of Avatar 2 with his father. By the time the film had finished, the car park had closed its shutters locking them both and another person out.
He said: “I live locally but this could severely affect any older or vulnerable people. They are presenting this as merely 'FYI' and not alerting people to the possibility they may not wish to use the car park given limited hours.”
