Asda Bexleyheath parking fine: rules, free time and how to appeal

Asda Bexleyheath is a supermarket car park serving Asda in Bexleyheath, on 140 Graham Road (DA6 7BN). Parking here is managed by ParkingEye, a private operator and member of the British Parking Association (BPA), so a ticket from this car park is a private Parking Charge Notice, not a council fine.

ParkingEye enforces the rules at Asda Bexleyheath using number-plate recognition (ANPR) cameras that log the time you drive in and out. If you got a charge here it will usually have arrived by post, addressed to the registered keeper, and the times on it are camera times, not the time you parked.

The rules at Asda Bexleyheath

You can park free for 3 hours, which is also the maximum stay. The free time is for Asda customers only, so leaving the site to shop or work elsewhere can lead to a charge.

This is the Asda superstore on Graham Road in Bexleyheath town centre. Drivers often combine it with a trip along the Broadway, which explains most overstays. 2025 and 2026 threads both describe a 3-hour free stay monitored by ParkingEye cameras. The smaller Asda at Crook Log has the same town name, so a notice that only says 'ASDA Bexleyheath' may not identify the land properly. In one 2026 case ParkingEye told POPLA it was not relying on keeper liability, and the hirer's appeal was allowed. Asda store managers can cancel charges for genuine shoppers, so ask at customer services with your receipt first.

How to appeal a charge at Asda Bexleyheath

1. Don't ignore it. Note the date on the notice: you normally have 28 days to appeal to ParkingEye, and 14 days to pay at the reduced rate if you decide to pay.
2. Gather evidence: photos of the signs and where you parked at Asda Bexleyheath, receipts, payment records, and anything that explains why you stayed longer.
3. Appeal to ParkingEye in writing. Keep to the facts and keep a copy. If you were not driving, you don't have to say who was.
4. If ParkingEye rejects your appeal, it must give you a code to appeal to POPLA, the independent appeals service for BPA members. POPLA appeals are free, and you have 28 days from the rejection to use the code.

If you were shopping at Asda

Keep your receipt. Asda stores can often ask ParkingEye to cancel a charge for a genuine customer, and a till receipt or card statement showing you shopped there that day is the strongest evidence you have. It also shows how long you were in the store compared with the 3 hours allowed.

Ask at customer services before you appeal. Some stores can log a cancellation request with the operator on the spot; if they can't, name the store manager you spoke to in your appeal.
