A question about : Mostyn Champneys Retail Park Llandudno
Just a warning for anyone who might visit the Mostyn Champneys Retail Park in Llandudno, they've just given permission to the well-known bunch of cowboys from Parking Eye to scam shoppers who use the car park there.
If you get an invoice from Parking Eye (they can't fine you) the advice is don't pay and ignore any correspondance - there's a lot more advice and info here - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...play.php?f=163
What I find annoying is the statement from Centre Manager about this - Colin Gilligan, Centre Manager of Mostyn Champneys Retail Park, explains the background behind the new scheme: Although we have recognised for some time that we are probably the most attractive parking location in the town - conveniently located and entirely free - we have also become aware of the growing number of non-shoppers who leave their vehicles for long periods, and at busy times deprive our genuine shoppers of a legitimate parking space.
I've been visiting Mostyn Champneys ever since it opened and never once in hundreds of visits have I not been able to find a space. Saturday afternoons, Christmas, Saturday afternoons at Christmas, you name it I've always had no trouble finding a space. Has anyone ever been there are left because they couldn't park? Speak now or forever hold your peace! This is little more than a money raising exercise for the owners of the retail park, although ultimately it will cost the tenants as shoppers are scared off and start to boycott the place.
SHAME ON YOU MOSTYN CHAMPNEYS!
n.b. Parc Llandudno just over the road also allow Parking Eye to rip off their customers as well so -
SHAME ON YOU PARC LLANDUDNO AS WELL!

- I thank fat andy for posting his concerns as I am also one angry person who has been "had" by the Parking Eye at Mostyn Champneys On 19th July at 15.59 my mother entered the Mostyn Champneys retail Park to go shopping in home Bargains she left the park a short time later as she picked me up at 5pm at my workplace. Later on that evening i collected my son from baskeball aT Ysgol John Bright at 10.00pm and popped home to get some items to take to his nanas in rhos on sea on route he decided he watned a McDonalds so I entered the Mostyn champneys retail park around 10:15pm and left at 10.22pm. This morning I awoke to a letter from Parking eye with a fine of 80.00 + 30 admin charges saying my car had been seen entering the retail park at 15.59 and exiting at 22.22pm I don't think your cameras are working corretly as if you look at the cameras you will surely see my car leaving the car park and re entering at 10.15 pm seems funny how saw my car entering the retail park and exiting the park but where on your camera is my mother leaving between 4pm and 5pm and me entering around 10.15 and leaving!!! very convenient. Well I will certainly be disputing this matter and will be going to the north Wales Weekly news to make my story heard. You cannot con people in this way! it is so not fair. It will certainly put people off shopping at the retail park if this happens I certainly will think twice before going in there again!!! Any ideas how to get hold of someone at parking eye to speak to as it is only an automated service. I want to speak with someone not appeal in writing.
- I've just returned from a holiday to find I was caught by Parking eye in Parc Llandudno even though I bought a ticket. But as they have only ticketed me through the post and did not put one on my windscreen I didn't know at the time so I didn't keep my ticket which is my only evidence that I paid! What a scam. I am also now past their 'deadline' as I was away for 2 weeks. So annoyed... I don't know why they didn't see my ticket. Does anyone know if they have the sticky type or dashboard card type? I can't remember and it's a long way to drive back just to find out. I have a vague memory of a ticket curling up on the window as it wasn't very sticky but not sure if it was that car park. Anyway I'm not paying....! Not sure whether to challenge it though yet. Also it's annoying that websites for N Wales are advertising free parking for 2 hours at Parc Llandudno. When you get there I'm sure it was only 30 min free... if that, but I paid for 2 hrs, grrr! Might write to the retail manager too.
- I have contacted the North Wales regarding their inaccurate article in the last edition regarding Parking Eye viz referring to the INVOICES AS FINES, I have mentioned the multi visit scam, and what happened to Observices in the West Midlands when they tried the same stunt, let's see if the reporter gets back to me.

Only by heaping odium on those who will collude with these parasites will we show them their error in bringing the ppcs in.
If we can find this information for other retail parks, we can start attacking the organ grinder, rather than their greedy not so tame monkeys. - Hi all,
We have just received a Parking Eye fine for Parc Llandudno stating no ticket was purchased or we went over the allocated time. We did purchase a ticket and did not go over the allocated time.
After reading all the advice on here we will be ignoring every letter we receive. Glad I came on here to read all these posts as I was going to send them a letter tomorrow. The advice is not to start correspondence but to ignore completely so that's what I am going to do.
Robbing Weasels - utter scumbags.
Cheers - The Parc Llandudno ticket machine wasn't working when I shopped there last week and so I stupidly assumed that it would be okay to complete my shopping anyway. 39 minutes extra parking and I am sent a fine of Ј50 increasing to Ј80 if I don't pay up quickly - I nearly paid up but luckily did a quick search to find out this is a big con, so many thanks all.
- Writing the the shops won't achieve anything. They have absolutely no control or say over the car-park.
Extreme example, if every one boycotted the shops then all you will be doing is helping people lose the jobs as the shops wouldn't stay open if not profitable to stay open. - My wife and I can identify with all the above comments and frustrations. We did pay the Ј50.00 but would not have done if we had found this forum first.
We have been shopping at Mostyn Champneys since they opened,but I doubt if we will go there again.
If by any chance the retail park manager is reading this forum,Thank you for giving us a good day out yesterday, Thursday we went to Chester.
Mr & Mrs very annoyed - I almost went there to buy all my xmas presents this year, cheers folks for the heads up.
Ill go to Chester or Wrexham instead and let my friends know too. - My sister received her letter - penalising her for exceding the average time of three hours they say is adequate to do one's shopping. How dare they assume and then dictate how much time people spend shopping. Could someone advise me please - I'm thinking of contacting the region's chamber of commerce, would they be interested in hearing about the situation at Mostyn Champneys Retail Park?
- I wrote an email to Mr Gilligan last night - I await a response.
I came across an article in The North Wales Weekly News 'No parking charges for store customers at Llandudno retail park' Aug 25 2011 which Mr Gilligan said "...customers of the stores who have valid receipts for purchases had nothing to fear".
