I rarely use the place, now I won't use it at all. Well done the council. Soon be a Ghost Town.
Disabled parking warning
- Thread starter Rowlf
- Start date
I have noticed during the last couple of weeks or so that there seems to be far more empty spaces than there used to be. Perhaps the shop staff aren't parking on the lower floors anymore. Still no indication as to who can park on the two basement levels.
The B&M staff certainly wont be parking there within a few weeks.
I just wanted to confirm they are frying anyone at the moment who's tyre is over the white of yellow disabled line in the Accrington Arndale Centre car park.
My disabled better half had a one tyre 1" onto the yellow disabled line and received a ticket. Pay £60 within 14 days or £100. Having lived in Accrington for many decades and shopped in the Arndale Centre using the parking facilities this is the last time and has certainly left a sour taste.
I was myself beginning to wonder why the Arndale was looking so devoid of shoppers let alone shops, I feel now we have found the answer as the love of it is certainly being lost. It does beg the question what are the council doing, £100 come on?

me too.
I park on the Arndale if I need to go in WH Smith or O2, if just going on the market then I park on Dutton St or on Peel St. If I do park on the Arndale I check that I am clear of the lines, easy enough to do, you don't even have to get out of the car.
I know a couple of people that have stopped visiting accy arndale simply cos of the ridiculous fines for a matter of inches, one person i know had no choice cos of the car parked very badly beside her, she got done told them, but the badly parked car had obviously gone before the warden came round, so as far as they were concerned,she was a liar.
The parking in Arndale is now under the control of a private company.
Staff working there, or any body who needs to park for over three hours must pay £40 a month and park on the higher floors.
I am a volunteer at the Accrington and District Blind society in the Arndale and we got a letter from the parking people.
I usually do two hours on Mondays so I'm OK but every week or two I do a full Saturday shift so I find it easier to catch the bus and walk across from the new bus station.
I went to my car one day and a man was parked in a disabled parking bay wih his blue badge on display. He had a parking fine on his windscreenand he was arguing like mad with the warden saying he had only been half an hour. The warden pointed out the blue badge was four days out of date, cost £65. No compassion whatsoever.
