They're fed up of shoppers using the same excuse
If drivers park incorrectly at a Tesco or Sainsbury's car park, they could receive a penalty charge notice - even if they are "just nipping in".
Sainsbury's has issued a warning to those wrongly using parent and child bays without actually having kids with them, saying its team "regularly monitors" its car parks. Many people use these bays without actually needing to, according to analysis from Confused.com reports the Liverpool Echo. The excuses most often given are there were no other spaces available or that people were "just nipping in" for a few minutes.It’s not illegal to park in a parent and child space without a child as most supermarket car parks are on private property, so there are no official government or council-level rules on these bays.
But you could get a Parking Charge Notice , the same as you would if you overstayed in a car park. Sainsbury's said it clearly signposts its parent and child bays, and anyone found to be misusing them could be hit with a parking fine. It is understood people are also at risk of a PCN if caught using these bays incorrectly at Tesco.
