The spaces are ridiculously small.. sometimes you can park without a problem, even on a busy shopping day, which is great, but then you can’t get out of your car without climbing out the boot, or finding that when you get back to it, you’ve no wing mirrors left.

I’ve never had a problem with the size of the spaces and I drive a large family car, infact I only ever use Raven Meadows when visiting Shrewsbury. I have parked in much tighter car parks.

Use the Park and Ride – you know it makes sense!!

Of course the spaces are small, the more cars they get in, the more money they rake in. As others have suggested, there is always park and ride facilities to use.

The building is nearly 40 years old and recently was awarded a Park Mark award for providing a safer environment for car park users and their cars. No crime reports have been reported during the last year! The staff Customer care is of the highest level. The parking bays are wider than 2 meters! What more would you expext?

The narrow spaces suite the narrow minds of the SABC who never listen and make up the rules as they go along. Why did they put the parking fee up to £2.00 allday sunday?? Pure greed. My advice.. for what it’s worth.. Don’t bother!

its easy to park there – they must just have big cars if they are complaining, they could always park across 2 bays and pay for 2 tickets like the obese do on US airplane flights

Em, for all the OAP’s on here, what you need to do is drive in incredibly slowly stopping for every pedestrian who actually thinks the raised section at the entrance is a proper zebra crossing. Go up to the barrier, that’s right press the little green button, try to get close enough so you don’t have to get out of your car dear. OK, take the ticket, the barrier with all the home made stop signs stuck on it will go up and what you need to do then is drive up the ramps in a CLOCKWISE direction. That’s right, keep going, try and ignore the queue of frustrated lunch hour drivers behind you as you trundle along at 5 mph – there’s no rush. Now, here’s a clue – when it starts getting brighter through your car windscreen (like waking up in the morning -you know) then it means you’re at the top. This is where you want to be it’s the special ‘old people’s parking area’. There’s loads of room here for all of you, you can practice finding reverse, parking in a straight line and driving around at speeds of up to – wait for it – 20 mph. Why, there’s so much room up here you might as well get the tartan rug off the parcel shelf and have a picnic, you know like you do in lay-bys and all that. What’s that dear? I said welcome to Shrewsbury, have a nice day and don’t forget to pay for your ticket before trying to shove it in the slot at the exit barrier! Bless…

If you have to get two small children out of the back of your car, it is very difficult. There are not enough parent spaces. The park and ride or my local bus services is out of the question. With 3 children, a buggy and shopping bags, plus a grumpy driver it’s just impossible. If you don’t believe me just try it yourself.
