Tesco Issues Warning to All Drivers Using Its Car Parks Amid New Parking Fine
Tesco enforces fines up to £100 for misuse of parent and child bays to ensure availability and safety for shoppers with children under 12, a move welcomed by many parents.
- This week Tesco has added signs in several store car parks stating `Parent and child only. Misuse of these bays may result in a PARKING CHARGE`, which customers and Netmums shared on Instagram.
- The guidance explains that bays are for children aged 12 or under and drivers need not use them if a child does not exit the vehicle, to keep wider bays nearer the store for parents who need space.
- Parking operators APCOA and Horizon Parking issue notices; misuse of Tesco family bays can result in a 100 parking charge, Tesco said.
- Parents responded positively online, welcoming Tesco's clampdown as overdue and urging other shops to adopt similar signs, with one commenter saying, `Need these everywhere. The amount of times I see people using them with no child!`
- Enforcement by parking partners could prompt disputes as some shoppers questioned how Tesco would monitor and enforce charges, which aim to free up spaces but may affect customers.
