not the best photo but now 2 hours free parking.

Is there a charge after 2 hours? The sign says ask customer services if you need longer.

Charging after 2 hours seems reasonable to me so that anyone using the car park to go to other outlets over the road for significant amounts of time over 2 hours pays their way.

Can't imagine spending more than 2 hours in Asda itself except perhaps at Chrimbo.

So within a couple of minutes walk of Stafford town centre there are 3 large carparks offering free parking with a 4th free via redemption if you spend a fiver. Can't be many towns in this position. Hopefully will translate to more shoppers and more new shops opening. Can only be a good thing for the town center.

Yesterday I spent the whole day in town, without paying. 3 hours in Tesco, moved up to B and M for a Market Vaults trip then finally onto Madford.

I find I end up spending far longer than necessary in there if I go during the day. Mostly because there’s so many people getting in the way, blocking aisles and taking forever at the checkout.

We find 9pm to be a great time to go, mostly because it’s barren.

Park at Asda, peruse bottom half of high street.
Move to Kingsmead, peruse top half.
Move to Madford, peruse Madford.

6 hours of free parking and you get to sit down for a bit. Sounds good to me.

Maybe easy enough if going into the opticians section as well

All the best

For interest, I spent fifty two minutes in the opticians today, start to finish, with my rather complicated eyes and I had to do one of the tests again at the end, just to be sure..

You could be sitting for a big bit if you catch the traffic right.;):hmm:
