Lex Luthor Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Secondly, Meadowhall and their Retail Park have exactly the same type of parasite parking company fining or as you say "ripping off" customers in exactly the same way. Do you really think any new Meadowhall development would be exempt from that? Have they reinstated a company then? I remember years ago when many people complained about the parking company, so they got rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The ones operating the retail park are still there IIRC, people would use that as overflow when Centertainment got full, but tickets were dished out left right and centre, do they close the gates to it now??

Jeffrey Shaw Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I fully agree that the parking is totally inadequate at Centertainment and they employ a parasite private parking company to rip off their own customers Er, no. The landowner engages the parking contractor. The business owners (e.g. Cineworld, the myriad restaurants, etc.) don't and they have no say in it.

Cineworld especially are the anchor business for the entire complex, if they kick up a stink I'm sure the land owners would appease them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 But you can't get everything you need,well,unless you eat out all the time and have no food at all at home. It has the M&S foodhall, although I wouldn't want to try to do a full food shop at meadowhall when there are perfectly good supermarkets available elsewhere (not in the city centre though, I wouldn't go there for a food shop either). ---------- Post added 18-05-2016 at 10:36 ---------- There is only a problem parking at Centretainment is when there is something on at the arena when everyone tries to park for free. There was no parking space on the last bank holiday and nothing on at the arena... Just a rainy bank holiday Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centertainment is a dreadful experience from beginning to end IMHO, made worse by the trawl around the car park looking for the same space as dozens of other drivers.

You probably could, if you wished. ---------- Post added 19-05-2016 at 12:14 ---------- Centertainment is a dreadful experience from beginning to end IMHO, made worse by the trawl around the car park looking for the same space as dozens of other drivers. If you go on a weeknight, relatively early, then you can drive straight into a parking space. By a coffee from Starbucks and walk into a quiet cinema screen to watch your film. When it's busy though it's pretty unpleasant (much like meadowhell). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thing is though it should be designed/laid out for the busy times not just normal traffic. If you have to make a special effort or go at a certain time to get a parking spot then it's just not worth the bother for many people. In hindsight putting it opposite the Arena wasn't an amazing idea, but it's not amazingly laid out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 you can drive straight into a parking space. By a coffee from Starbucks Is parking by the coffee mandatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
