ASDA Car Parking Update

We're pleased to announce that the ASDA car parking signs now reflect the parking arrangments of the lease agreement dated 13 November 1989 between Stockport Council and the tenant (formerly the Co-op and now ASDA).

After a long battle to get the signs changed last year it was particularly disappointing when ASDA's new car parking operator erected new signs that were again in breach of ASDA's lease agreement with Stockport Council.

Before tackling the problem for the second time we were successful in obtaining the details of the lease agreement from the legal department at Stockport Council; something we didn't succeed in last year as the terms of the agreement were deemed 'confidential between the parties'. (See details of agreement below).

"The lease provides that the "demised land" is not to be used for anything other than a shoppers' car park and that members of the public may use it between 9am and 9pm Mondays to Saturdays but that during trading hours the tenant (formerly the Co-op and now Asda) can charge vehicles parking there for longer than two hours.  It also states that outside trading hours the car park should be available to the public without charge (but can be closed after midnight"
