Tesco Leeds Extra, York Road Seacroft situated in the Green Shopping Centre has got a huge advantage of being a Supermarket, a major bus station, an imposing car park, adjacent to many important public buildings, including a college, a library, a post office. For years all these thrived supplementing each other's needs. Suddenly this Year, Tesco through its property managers, Savills,  imposed a parking restriction on its car park whereby people may not park their vehicles in the car park and walk out to any adjacent buildings, even if they intend to come back to The Green Shopping Centre at a latter stage.

The whole idea of transferring this public land from the Leeds City Council to private hands, ie Tesco was meant for developing the Seacroft area, not to impose penalties, and fines against people who tend to use all the services offered in this area. Though the adjacent buildings have got limited parking, it seems ridiculous for people to move around with their cars between shopping and accesing services offered in adjacent buildings. A fair usage policy and time restriction would have been enough for using the car park. 

We appeal to Tesco (their relevant departments responsible for land, property, and leases) to review this decision of imposing fines on vehicles left by people to access other vital services offered around the car park, even if they intend to use the shopping centre as well later.
