Major rule change to parking at Tesco, Asda & Sainsbury's pushes ahead – and could save you from being slapped with fine
SHOPPERS at Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's might need a special permit for parking to avoid being slapped with a fine. A new petition is being pushed ahead which demands a permit for parent and child parking bays to stop "misuse". 1 A new petition calls for a special permit for parents with young children Credit: Getty Juggling grocery bags and young children running around can be an overwhelming experience. That is why many supermarket parking areas have parent and child bays which are located closer to the entrance. However, these spots are often "misused" and taken up by childless drivers. Petition calls for new permits Frustrated parents have now read more on motors The petition, created by Laila Noonan, reads: "I am calling on the government to introduce a permit that allows access to parent and child parking bays from 20 weeks of pregnancy until the child turns 8 years old. "Pregnant individuals and parents of young children may face mobility and safety challenges that require accessible parking." "In the later stages of pregnancy and throughout early childhood, we think additional space and proximity to entrances are essential for safety and accessibility. "We think this permit would support the practical needs of expectant mothers and parents managing young children, ensuring safer, more equitable access to essential facilities and stop this misuse of these bays." Most read in Motors Current rules Although it isn't illegal to park in parent and child bays, these spots are designated for guardians with at least one child under the age of 12. Childless drivers could risk being hit with a Parking Charge Notice (PCN) when leaving their car in these bays. The RAC points out the uncertainty surrounding pregnant women's eligibility for these places and advises to check with specific store managers about their policies. Supermarkets are largely responsible for reinforcing these rules with Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl and Tesco confirming they're constantly monitoring the parking areas. The RAC said: "Supermarket car parks are private property. Any rules about their use will be enforced by the supermarket themselves or by a private firm allocated to manage them. "Many of these firms are members of the British Parking Association (BPA) and must adhere to the organisation's operator scheme code of practice." The Rac warns against self-reinforcement The RAC cautions parents against taking the matter in their own hands and confronting the violator. They said: "In the frustrating event that you spot someone misusing a parent and child bay, it's best to talk to a store manager. "Approaching somebody using a dedicated bay without young passengers could lead to a hostile situation, so try not to get carried away by the injustice of it all."

Irish EuroMillions winner paid terrifying price for becoming country's 58th richest person
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The largest ever EuroMillions jackpot was won in Ireland in recent days – with the lucky ticket holder now €250million richer. And the National Lottery has since confirmed the golden ticket was sold by a retailer in Cork, with a spokesperson saying they were giving the winner the necessary time to 'let this life-changing news sink in'. But a woman called Dolores McNamara, who used to be a part time cleaner, can attest to the fact that the absurd amount of money may never sink in. She was once the record holder, after winning a cool €115million on the EuroMillions back in 2005. Next month will even mark the 20 year anniversary from when she scooped the eye-watering prize. But despite the elation, the money has also been a poisoned chalice, and below we look back at her extraordinary story. Dolores, a mum-of-six, was not in the privacy of her home in Limerick when she realised she had suddenly become the 58th richest person in Ireland at the time. (Image: PA) Instead, the then 45-year-old was sat in her local pub, the Track Bar, and she put her €2 lottery ticket on a table and told one of her friends: 'Check that for me.' The draw was being shown live on the television and within seconds Dolores was in floods of tears. A barmaid, who was there at the time, once said: 'Then the drink started flowing and the champagne was poured and we had a great night celebrating. Dolores is a real nice woman and none of her friends believe this will change her drastically.' After it became national news, her solicitor released a statement, saying their client had a 'desire to return to normality as soon as possible'. He added: 'She is absolutely determined that her feet and the feet of her family, will remain firmly on the ground.' Unfortunately for Dolores, returning to 'normality' was never really an option, and the riches came with certain complexities. However, what it did do was purchase a huge and extravagant house called Lough Derg Hall. The €1.75m property in Killaloe, Clare, with stunning lakeside views, reportedly was once of interest to acting superstar Robert De Niro. (Image: Press Association) She also snapped up six homes in the Limerick area for her six kids – Dawn, Gary, Kim, Kevanne, Dean and Lee. Despite the joys of being able to set her loved ones up for life, the endless cash brought darker consequences, including Dolores having to purchase 24/7 security at her home. This was after multiple sinister kidnapping threats and it was also reported that her children each had a panic button in case an ugly scenario happened. Her son, his partner and their child were also said to have moved home to stay in a private location after a kidnapping plot where a local gang was rumoured to be planning an abduction. Dolores meanwhile was also involved in a road crash in 2015 and the case continued for years until she finally got a settlement of almost €8,500. Heartbreak followed in recent times after her husband, Adrian, a bricklayer who had invested in his own racecourse because of the lotto scoop, died in 2021. He was only in his 60s and he passed away after an illness. (Image: PA) Dolores is now 64 and the grandmother-of-nine tends to avoid the public eye as much as possible. Speaking to the press is not something Dolores does, despite the huge interest in her win, and her only interview came with her local Limerick Leader paper. She said: 'The question that has been asked of me most frequently was how I felt about my win and my answer is still the same - I feel disbelief and shock. Buying a ticket for that Euro jackpot was a spur of the moment decision. I'd actually gone into the shop to buy a top-up for my phone and just asked the lady for a Lotto ticket.'
