Asda Is Going To Act – At Last.
A recent short news item revealed that Asda is going to trial a scheme where drivers who park in disabled bays without displaying the Blue Badge and in those bays reserved for parents with small children without a small child on board, will get fined £60. With a view to doing the same at all Asda stores in due course.
Good! Good and thrice good! I really look forward to Asda at Grimshaw Park, Blackburn doing the same.
However the parent and child parking abuse could prove interesting.
During these last 15 years or so I have written on numerous occasions to complain about drivers using the disabled bays and just as importantly complained that the Asda car park staff were not doing anything about it. Local managers have been full of apologies and platitudes but never any action, even when I presented them with the evidence in front of their own eyes. They just scuttled back to their offices. Hence my email letters to head office.
I assume that I was not alone in this crusade but it is gratifying to discover that at long last Asda management have listened and decided to do something about it.
Tesco etc. please take note.
