I am writing to highlight, in my opinion, an unfair parking charge.

I visited a Lidl store in Brighton recently. I parked and waited for my wife to arrive in her car.

We both shopped and spent more than £300.

A week later I received a parking fine for exceeding the time limit in the car park.

I was over the time limit by 15 minutes. I called Lidl but they said they have nothing to do with their parking.

I feel this is totally unjust as I only parked there to shop and have now received a fine.

I paid for the shopping with cash and have no proof of receipt that I shopped there.

I hope my letter acts as a warning to others to only spend a small amount of money in Lidl as time is ticking and it may cost more than they think in the end.
