Leaving a bad taste...

A friend of mine used the Kidsplay car park on Station Hill to take her son to the play centre (as you would). She didn't notice the new parking restrictions imposed (by a private company) and ended up with a £150 parking fine because she exceeded the two free hours. this is ridiculous and is clearly out to exploit those who are not on the ball that day. I believe Kidsplay have some sort of arrangement with the company whereby you can extend the parking times but hard luck if you are not aware in the first place. Kidsplay have a duty to make sure people using their facilities are aware of this - not least because they are probably already losing out in a big way to Curve Motion.
