Spar

esteemedjuju · 06-02-2010, 15:10

Noticed the Spar in Clayton has a notice in the window stating no parking, parking for Spar customers only if you are not a customer your car will be clamped as this shop is on Whalley road with no parking bays I don't see how they can get away with this.

That's interesting .. can't see that LCC would be going into a scheme such as this to sell/rent road space outside a shop property on their highway, like residential parking for instance. Sounds like the proprietor is trying it on or summat ?

Does need investigation methinks.

if they clamped a car they would be breaking the law and would be deemed as theft .dont think they own the public highway

personaly i hope somone goes into the shop and tries to remove any clamp with the shop owners skull.

its just like how ossy mills seem to think they can put traffic cones out on the road to stop people parking legaly just because they are a supposedly big buisness.

no yellow lines or zig zags etc and its tough titties for them i say lol

been a while since i was down there but isntthere a doctors next door to that spar or somthing and if so are they likely to be clamped too ?

esteemedjuju · 07-02-2010, 15:34

no the docs is on the next block the vets is on the corner of the next block down and has no parking as its near the crossing so i park at the spar when i'm collecting my dogs food as the bags are heavy

get a life, he aint even got a clamp, he is simply trying to keep the street cleasr for his customers, surely you can't knock him for that, I have seen people parking outside his shop and going for thier nails painting over the road, 6 hourss later they move on, no doubt the owner of the spar will loose business if customers can't park.
I presume all you whingers don't have your own business, when you have and you are reliant on outside parking it is a problem because it is taking food out of his kids mouths, enough said

It is a public road so anyone can park there.

I can't understand why anyone would put a sign in a shop threatening people with lies?

And to add to that It's not all that easy to take the food out of the kids mouth's when you run a grocery business

.

Don't make me laugh I'm not well.

Steady Duggie, reading through your comments, you are also based in the same area, yes parking all over the place & denying access to your business's is a naus, but what are people supposed to do ?? they have to park somewhere & as to calling people, well they're just stating their views too, if you're going to call someone try & be diplomatic about it eh ??

yeah no probs, it simply winds me up when inconsiderate people park for ages outside your business, shop keepers need free space to get customers through the door, this will all fall into insignificance once the new bus lane arrives, no parking for anybody, that should kill of a few more local shops, well done LCC
