ladybird86 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well at Xmas any meadowhall staff get fined for parking in meadowhall-we have to use the overspills even if the car parks not full!!! This is because a customer complained that staff take up all the spaces and they had to park far away from the entrance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Are you not allowed to park in the retail park to use the cinema then?  I’ve received one of these 'fines' and I’m not sure what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emujuice Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hi all, I think quite a few people (like my aunt - and possibly me, although the fine hasn't arrived yet I'm expecting on) will have been fined after seeing sex and the city on the opening night, as the cinema was full and lots parked in the retail park. Are there any updates from the people who have ignored the fines from the retail park? I'd really appreciate knowing what the outcome has been. Â I'll certainly be avoiding the retail park in future, especially as I'd been shopping there before I went to the cinema, something I do frequently. I'll now not want to do that and they'll lose custom. Very stupid really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbees Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 No it's a charge and all they are doing is giving you what looks like some sort of legal threat but is on fact only an invoice. Just don't pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having read this post though I'm definitely not going to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I was fined / charged for the Sex and the City opening night too.  One thing in my defence is the second picture of me leaving the car park doesn’t actually show my reg plate. So technically I think I may be in the clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihrod9 Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It doesn't actually show my number plate either, although there is the printed one underneath, but not sure where they got that image from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sheff Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) They got me too!  Went to cineworld on orange Wednesday, it was very rainy, centertainment car park was packed to the rafters so I had no choice but to park in retail park. the signs are small and incorrectly placed because if I saw them I would have been out of there QuickTime.  My charge £75 was for +11 mins!  I appealed with pictures of their crappy incorrectly placed small a2 signs , Got a reply saying my appeal is unsuccessful but if I send receipts from stores/site they will look into it further (lol)  Just a quick post to update people in relation to parking fines at Meadowhall Retail Park. My partner was issued a notice asking for £95 or £75 if paid early. I sent a standard letter of appeal from a free legal advise site to G24. They have subsequently revoked the charge. Any person issued with a fine i strongly advise looking into it further before paying. Edited July 28, 2009 by the_sheff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The Action Desk in today's Star deals with the Meadowhall Retail parking situation and has clearly stated that this civil contract penalties must be reasonable and proportionate. £90 for a 5 minute over-stay would not meet this requirement and the parking company would have to go to County Court to get their money only after proving themselves against this defence.
