US EditionAldi, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons Shoppers Warned over 'Age Limit' - Liverpool Echo
OXFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND, AUG 5 – Parents using supermarket parent and child bays must have children under 12 to avoid fines up to £100, amid unclear signage and enforcement differences across UK supermarkets, experts say.
- On 2025-08-06, drivers are being alerted to a new age restriction rule affecting family parking spaces at major supermarket chains including Aldi, Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons.
- The rule reserves bays for parents or guardians with children under 12, but enforcement and signage vary, causing confusion and potential fines up to £100.
- Experts at EMG Motor Group and RAC officials state no law prohibits parking without a child under 12, yet private owners can issue Parking Charge Notices for misuse.
- Dr Shani Dhanda stresses improper bay use impacts disabled access and independence, urging reporting to promote accountability and change in parking practices.
- The warnings and ongoing Disabled Motoring UK surveys suggest a need for clearer rules and improved awareness to reduce misuse and unfair penalties.
