Shoppers who drive to the supermarket could find themselves hit with a fine if they park somewhere they aren’t supposed to.
Most supermarket car parks have dedicated spaces designed for people shopping with children - but research from comparison website Confused.com discovered that many people use these bays even when they don’t have kids. The most common excuse shoppers gave was that they were “just nipping in” to the supermarket, or that there were no other spaces available.
But those who take up one of these spaces when they don’t need them could come back to a Parking Charge Notice, depending on which supermarket they shop at. Sainsbury’s was found to be one of the chains that enforces their parking rules the most, saying that it “regularly monitors” its car parks including keeping an eye on the parent and child bays, the Liverpool Echo reports .
