A new operator is being sought for car parks linked to a shopping centre in Lichfield.

Excel Parking took over the Backcester Lane and Gresley Row facilities at Three Shopping Centre last year.

The sites had [previously been managed by Lichfield District Council](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/shopping-centre-to-take-over-management-of-two-lichfield-car-parks/) before the decision to switch was made by the former owners of the shopping centre.

But there have been a number of complaints over parking tickets issued to drivers since the change to a new operator, leading to [a Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/309816334641592) being set up with hundreds of members.

However, the new owners of the Three Spires Shopping Centre have now decided to terminate the agreement with Excel Parking, the leader of Lichfield District Council has confirmed.

Cllr Doug Pullen said:

> “The new owners of Three Spires Shopping Centre have confirmed that they have given the required 30 days notice to terminate the contract with Excel Parking following review and feedback, and they are now in consultation with new suppliers.  
>  
> “They’ve committed to upgrading the parking machines, ensuring that visitors get either a paper or e-mail receipt, and retaining the ability to pay by cash or card.  
>  
> “I am really pleased that we have such a community-focused organisation now owning Three Spires Shopping Centre and we look forward to our continued engagement with them.”  
>  
> Cllr Doug Pullen, Lichfield District Council

Evolve Estates were [confirmed as the new owners](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/new-owner-confirmed-for-lichfield-shopping-precinct/) of the shopping centre last month.

As well as the change to the parking provision, they have already begun work with the council in [a bid to convert the vacant former Debenhams unit into a cinema](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/deal-could-see-ex-debenhams-store-in-lichfield-converted-into-a-cinema/).
