Shrewsbury film fans caught out by parking rules urged to appeal as firm commits to 'resolving issue'
Film fans who have been hit by parking charges after seeing a long film at a cinema have been urged to appeal.
Managing agents for the retail park off Old Potts Way in Shrewsbury say they will work with the car park operator and Cineworld to 'resolve the issue' that has trapped at least two people.
Customers who have seen a screening of the Oppenheimer biopic about the atom bomb scientist starting after 8pm have been hit by a rule where five hours of free parking comes to an abrupt end at 11pm. It's only free for 10 minutes after 11pm although there is a way of making sure it is kept free.
Geoff Smethills from Bayston Hill decided to go and see the Christopher Nolan-directed biopic on July 25 with his wife. Paul Rumbold, also of Bayston Hill, said he went to see the film with his partner and son on July 23 and "did not see any signs" to warn him of the danger.
There are signs at the parking spots outside Cineworld which do lay down the rules clearly.
