Kopek Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Perhaps it's to prevent all day parking by workers trying to avoid parking charges? I remember when all parking was free on the Island, oh the joy of being a 'Baby Boomer'!!! Tough luck you 30 somethings! Could park the A30 anywhere. Teapot. You could always park up, go into town for 2 hrs, then disc change and go into Tesco, thus, not abusing their car park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they trying to fix a problem which doesn't seem to exist? You must go down there late at night then. We shop there 2 or 3 times per week and the car park is often full. Maybe the tight wads who don't want to pay to park should use Shoprite's car park as it never anywhere near full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s interesting Dilli - I shop at Tesco on variable days of the week, at variable times, (though never evenings/night) and have never once failed to find a parking space. Either I’m very fortunate or you’re especially unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use one of those daft “mother and child” spaces near the store entrance. I don’t park in them (even though the majority always seem free) but if you have mobility problems then crack on.
