Entrance to the car park in Snedshill

John Biddle, who is retired and from the Priorslee area of Telford, said both he and his wife briefly visited the Aldi store in Snedshill last month, only to have a fine from the company that runs the car park land on their doormat a few days later.

It follows another incident at the same car park when Richard Whitehead from Telford was threatened with court action after the car park's cameras "got confused" after he entered the car park twice in one day to use the Wicke's store.

Mr Biddle who has managed to get the car parking fine cancelled by Euro Parking Services, which runs the Snedshill site that serves both Aldi and Wickes, has said he believes the firm is deliberately issuing incorrect fines to people.
