Just received a parking charge note for ?90 for 'overstay' parking at Lidl in Peckham.

According to the photo - I entered the car park at 13.52 and departed at 15.46. having overstayed by 23 minutes. Maximum stay being 1 hour 30 minutes.


I also thought it was a maximum of 2 hours stay - but cannot say that I always look at the notices so I am at fault there. However the time it tales to get through the checkout at Lidl's with a trolley full of stuff, surely it should be 2 hours. Given how quickly items are scanned through the till I put every thing back into the trolley and then pack them in bags when I reach the car.

On really busy days you can spend 10 minutes or more looking for a parking space.

I received two of these, both for similar excess parking.


I wrote a strongly worded letter stating that I had actually been in Lidl doing a large shop and that I could prove it.


I also wrote lidl, which in all fairness was a waste of a letter.


About a week later, I got a letter confirming they had cancelled the charges.

The Supreme Court rejected a crowd-funded test appeal in November 2015, holding that there was a contract and that the ?85 penalty charge stipulated within it as a means of protecting the company's legitimate interest was not "extravagant, exorbitant or unconscionable". http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-3303189/Parking-ticket-disappointment-UK-motorists-Supreme-Court-rejects-chip-shop-owner-s-85-appeal.html https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/uksc-2015-0116.html

I was shopping for an event and went round the shop twice, waiting for cashier, putting items in trolley as I pack into bags in car, I have a disability and walk with a stick slowly to return trolley and back to car at furthest end of car park, joined another load of cars trying to get out.


Usually takes about an hour when am with hubby as he can pack in store and lift heavy bags.


I paid ?45 (discounted rate)

Hello - I have just unearthed a parking fine when I ran over the allowed 1 and a half hours at the Lidl car park back in July.  Does anyone have any recent experience of this?  I have heard it said that these can be ignored but is that the case now?  I am new to this... I usually cycle! I wasn't shopping in Lidl unfortunately...otherwise I'd consider taking it up with Lidl.  Any recent experience would be welcomed. Thanks in advance.

You will have to pay up I'm afraid.

I ran foul of the Old Kent Road one when doing a particularly large shop but was able to provide receipts to the charging company from Lidl and they waived it.

I fear if you haven't been using Lidl you will struggle to find any mitigating circumstances.

Yes I expect you are right! Thank you for your response.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
