The Peel Centre Car Parking

 - I have always thought it a disgrace and counter-productive to charge people to park when they are spending their money in your shopping centre. Even more so when it is for disabled parking as they can legitimately park on double yellow lines, in most instances, which can cause traffic flow issues. My wife visited the Peel Centre a week ago and we have just received a £100 fine notice in which they laughingly use the words "discounted to £60" if paid within 14 days. I have paid this incredibly punitive charge but Stockport will never see a single penny more of my money - I will actually go out of my way to never shop in Stockport again and I hope many others do the same. These private parking companies are disgusting, money-grubbing, modern day Dick Turpins - they deserve nothing but utter contempt as do the equally money-grubbing councils that employ them for,I am sure, a tidy little profit. Stockport Town Centre - you are dying by your own hand. Great business model that!!

 - I resently obtained a disabled parking permitt and parked in the Peel Centre in stockport. The car was parked in a disabled bay and my badge and clock clearly displayed. I have just received a penalty notice for not having purchased a parking ticket (£2.00 ) and received a fine of £60.00 which i did not realise I required with the badge. I paid the fine as understood if I challenged and lost would have cost me £100 and as a 69-year-old pensioner I cannot afford to lose another £40 for my error. I could have parked just off the carpark on the main road and paid nothing which I will do in future and risk nothing. Would suggest avoiding the peel centre car park if driving with a blue badge and will raise a complaint with Stockport Council.

 - No stars. Terrible company. We visited The Peel Centre with our Grandchildren to purchase from Hobbycraft. Being strangers, we are from Norwich, and did not notice any pay for parking signs as we were looking for Hobbycraft, and shopped for half and hour. We have been abroad for 2 months and came home yesterday to 2 letters from Ocean Parking followed by another today. Had the letters been an obvious parking fine the friend looking after the house would have advised us and we could have responded earlier. The £60 fine escalated to £160. Come to Norwich, we don’t pay at our retail parks. the PEEL COMPANY along with OCEAN PARKING are disgusting money grabbing companies.
