After advising other funsters of been able to park in the long bays that surround the car park, I have first hand advice that this is not the case.
We have utilised little roodee for over 5 years now as it's very handy for when we visit our business storage and we really love the city with its selection of heritage,shopping,bars and restaurants.
We have always used the longer bays that coaches and commercial vehicles use as they are more fit to purpose for a 8 metres A class motorhome.
We got a ticket the other day which has since been squashed (they didnt have to do this but im happy they did), however the council has stated that the long bays are only for commercial vehicles and coaches not motorhomes.
We will still visit chester but if we find that it becomes awkward or impossible to park using the 2 bay system we unfortunately will have to make the decision of using other city's and stopovers (Shrewsbury is a good alternative as they have a small section where they are longitude in style rather than block form).
Below is a copy of my email
Your Notes: We had a ticket for an oversize vehicle (the top ticket issuing machine). We are classed as private heavy goods on our v5 coming in at 6 tonnes, so we tend to use an oversized vehicle bay that lorries and coach's use. We are not a car. If motorhomes are not allowed to use these bays you should state that so no confusion can occur and stop using terms like "oversize vehicle", I personally don't think you have explained your policy enough. If you do not want larger motorhomes (we are 8.1m long) then we will pay the fine and I will inform the largest UK-based motorhome community (which we are a life member) - "motorhome fun" - to ensure that this doesn't happen to anyone else. We have been using little roodee car park for over 5 years and have never received a parking ticket for parking in these bays. We spend on average at least 60 days a year in chester shopping and dining out in the city. It would be such a shame to the local shops, restaurants and bars if we cannot utilise this car park for stopovers. I hope this matter can be resolved for the best outcome for chester.
So in conclusion.
Always get a 2 bay ticket if you cover more than 1 bay and do not park in the larger bays that surround the car park except the ones next to the river amongst the trees and bushes.
