Recently, I had occasion to go across to Scotland on a brief visit. Being aware that there had been some dissatisfaction over parking charges at Aldergrove, and not having used those facilities for several years, I made a point of asking advice from a uniformed security man where I should park for between two and three days.
He recommended that I leave my car in the short stay car park. On my return, I entered my parking card in the paying machine and was taken aback to read that the charge amounted to £28.50.
Fortunately, I had enough cash in my pocket.
The Aldergrove management, or the holder of the parking franchise, is on to a winner, for there's gold under the tarmac.
Perhaps one or the other would like to say what service was provided to me for the 53 hours that would justify the charge of £28.50.
It's about time a Government regulatory body looked into such unjustified overcharging.
