I use sainburys every day for my lunch and park up every day.
so now my lunch costs 70p more as i have to pay parking charges.
DON’T THINK SO !!!!!!
What a stupid idea WE ARE NOT IN LONDON !!!!!!!
Thanks for your comment, Tony.
Shoppers, are you happy with Trinity Walk’s parking charges…?
Parking charges put me off going to Trinity Walk.
Why is it only Sainsburies that will credit the parking charge
Tony, why not buy a £10 voucher to use at Sainsburys when you do shopping.
Either that or make your lunch at home
Come to white rose in leeds it is free to park.
Was going to drive over today to see whats its like but changed my mind, parking charges not excessive but its the principle, plenty of good shopping centres about with free parking,
I was waiting until after the weekend to go visit. Looked at website and saw there were parking charges – doesn’t even say disabled are exempt. Will continue to go to White Rose. Trinity Walk will end up going the same way the the Ridings. Why pay to go there when like John says ‘plenty of good centre with free parking’.
Typicall Wakefield council !! Parking charges will just put people off after the initial ‘nosey’.
When do you ever pay to use the supermarket, disgusting………. Bring on the new Asda, they won’t charge for parking your car to do your shopping.
Whiterose and Meadowhall will always do better, as it is free to park.
My daughter is working in the new complex on a part time basis & i think its disgusting that you are charged to park.Why are there no concessions for staff,shoppers wont pay when they can simply go further up the road to other outlets & park for free…this is revenue wakefield can ill afford to loose.
was going to go for a look around today until I saw price of parking! Will go elsewhere instead. Will stick to White Rose or Meadowhall.(free parking)
i was going to go look round but can not see if there is free parking for disabled or if there is a shopmobility in the center as i rely on a scooter when i go shopping think like everyone else it might be white rose for me
I can’t believe I just had to pay £2.40 for for just over 2 hours shopping. Will not shop here again.
I too think the parking charges are over the top, but while you moan about them now, dont forget that if they were free, then you would never get parked at all for all the workers in wakefield using it to park for free and also all the shoppers with no intentions of using trinity walk shops. This is because its close to town and would be ideal for those people. . There is not one shop at trinity walk that I would use and I intend to park there as its close to other shops compared to the other car parks in town, But I wont shop at trinity walk. Its a waste of wakefields funds and resources.
On another note: no charges at meadowhall and white rose because they are out of town city centers and nobody would dream of parking there to walk into thier town centers as too far out. . So while you waste funds in fuel at todays cost, you would be saving by parking at trinity walk. I still think trinity walk is a load of BULL though.
Why do they charge £5 for up to 5 hrs and £7 for 7 hrs what happened to 6hrs, why not 80p per hour just like it is for 1 or 2 hrs.
It’s just pure greediness.
Recently drove from Barnsley to shop at Sainsburys. Turned around and went home after seeing I had to pay. Absolutely no way – ever!
Anoth nail in the coffin of Wakefield’s latest
shopping centre, our first visit resulted in a swift reverse away, paying to shop not on my life but some one has to pay the inflated salaries of the top council big wigs. Want to spend £200 in Argos
but still required to pay for the privilege when shops close as they will with out customers another white elephant for the residents of this
to subsidise
went to look at the new centre with my husband who is disabled and saw that you had to pay i turned my car round and left as disabled parking is not free i feel my husband has already paid with his disabilty as he cannot walk needs wheelcjair or scooter i will go to white rose in leeds as i live in leeds it is free to park which is why this centre is so busy all year round wakfield needs to look at this as we feel that this is going to be another white elephant i was not the only one to turn my car around that day
Was going to apply for a transfer for my job to Trinity Walk but I work 8.5 hrs a day 5 days a week so would have to pay £12 a day for the priveledge……….changed my mind now!!
If the car park charges are 80p per hour then why does it cost £3.40 for 4 hrs when it should actually cost £3.20, even worse it costs £5.00 for 4 hrs when it should cost £4.00. It seems the longer you stay the more it costs. I work for Wakefield Council and i am ashamed to say that the Council have totally got this new shopping centre wrong at the expense of us again, yes the tax payer.
I arrived at Trinity Walk at 13.08. I lost my parking ticket and at 14.10 used the assistance button to find out what I could do. I was informed I had to pay a £12 fine. I asked if CCTV could be used as I had only arrived 1 hour before. I was told no. I use Trinity walk 5 times per week as I shop at Sainsburys. I will not be using Trinity Walk again. I realise that it was me that lost the ticket. However I hardly think that Tuesday afternoon in the middle of January will have been a busy time for the carpark and that it would not have taken long to look back an hour on CCTV as I knew exactly when I had arrived. I am £12 down but Trinity Walk considerably more due the amount I used to spend there week in week out.
Hi Amanda.. have you tried writing to the centre’s management? Maybe you need to speak to someone senior so that they can authorise a refund?
I will not be shopping at Trinity Walk again. Working locally in Wakefield, I would pop into Debenhams/Next/Body Shop on the way home.
After a quick half hour shop, I put my car parking card into the machine and paid the 80 pence charge (minimum) and forgot to pick-up the card/ticket to get out. I got to my car when I realised. I’ve never done this before and can only put it down to having had a lot on my mind recently. When I got to the machine, the card had been picked-up. Probably the people after me collected it not knowing what to do with 2 cards.
Either way, I was advised by a security guard to press the buzzer on the machine. An attendant who came had a very poor attitude and laughingly said I would have to pay £12 as it’s a lost card.
There is no way to get out unless you get a card. When I asked where I had to go to get a card he just shrugged shoulders, laughed and walked off. Asked him again and he said press the buzzer. I know the staff are not responsible for the charges, they are only doing their job but I was not impressed with their attitude.
I think it’s total robbery to charge £12 for a lost card and poor service/treatment of customers. I will not be shopping at Trinity Walk again. I much prefer Freeport and York where you get decent customer service and no parking charges, so no risk of over-priced penalties for forgetting to pick-up the card to get out.
Hi… have you tried contacting the centre’s management? I’m sure they want to keep your custom.
I did think of contacting them. The staff would not give me any number to ring or address.
I doubt very much that this shopping centre’s management care less about losing my custom, which believe me they have. However, they will care when more and more people do not use the shopping centre.
The staff in the shops I went to were excellent.
The car parking staff – very poor.
I do not think any good customer should be treated that way or have over-priced penalties for losing a card to get out, despite having paid already.
It’s not progress, it’s just a rip-off.
Went to pay car parking charge at the end of shopping trip. As I had been to sainsburys I was entitled to 2hours free shopping in addition to this I shopped for just under three extra hours. I expected to pay £2.40 for three hours of shopping. Instead I was charged £3.40. I queried this and was told that the company have calculated the figure by taking the total number of hours and deducting £1.60 as opposed to substracting two hours from the total time and then calculating the figure. There is a total lack of transparency in this and the calculations are done to maximise profits for the car ark and leave the customer out of pocket. Ironically customers are penalised for spending more time shopping. Quite a few time I couldn’t understand why I was being asked to pay more than what I had approximated, it was only when I queried it that I realised what the car parking company were doing. As the cost per hour does not go up in increments by the same amount it does make a difference if the calculations for charges are done in the way stated above. I would like to support my local shopping centre but resent underhand tactics such as this. I intend to pursue the matter and will raise it with sainsburys, the manager of the carpark. Should I not get a satisfactory response I will be highlighting it in the local press, websites and will be taking legal advice. I go to trinity walk once a week and each time I have been over charged by approximately £1, in what I feel is a very underhand manner.
Thanks for getting in touch Shabnam, please let us know how you get on.
I used to love shopping in Sainsbury’s when they were on Ings Road, I stick to Asda now,it’s free parking.
