A supermarket has responded to customer complaints over ‘ridiculous’ parking fines.
Morrisons, Britain’s fifth largest supermarket chain, has responded to frustrated customers after shoppers were fined at its High Wycombe store car park.
A motorist raised the alarm over “borderline fraudulent” ANPR cameras after he was fined £100 following a trip to Morrisons store and petrol station car wash.
SJ Machrihanish received the hefty fine after shopping and queueing at the car wash meant he had spent more than two hours in the area managed by Euro Car Parks.
However, he had thought the petrol station on Parker Knoll Way, was outside the time limited car park.
Now Morrisons has spoken out about the parking situation.
A spokesperson from Morrisons said: "The changes were introduced back in the summer of 2020 and so have been in place for some time now.
“Our team will take another look at the location of the signs to make sure they are really clear."

Although his fine was later cancelled after he raised the issue with Morrisons, Mr Machrihanish wanted to warn others to stay vigilant when parking there.
Other Bucks motorists shared their experience at the car park.
Maureen Matthews said: “I got a fine and just paid it begrudgingly.”
Hannah Walsh, who was fined £60 after a trip to Morrisons and the car wash, commented: “Had I known the £2.99 car wash would end up costing me £60, I wouldn't have bothered waiting! I entered an appeal with Euro Car Parks but it's been rejected.”
