Film produced for Sainsbury's to demonstrate the problems with multi-storey car parks in town centre shopping centres, which often were difficult for shoppers to use due to inadequate lifts, stairs and escalators which were unsuitable for customers with trollies and large quantities of shopping. The film also features the car park at the recently opened Peterborough Bretton store and highlights the benefits of the easy to access car park on the same level as the store.
There are two versions of the film - one version is wholly in black and white, and one version is partially in colour.
Film produced by Gratton Darbishire (of Byfield, Daventry, Northamptonshire). 9 minutes, 32 seconds long.
A separate film with 25 minutes of silent footage of car parks is also included, which seems to be footage for use in this film although not all of the footage was used.
