Car sticker for disabled parking

I've been watching videos on YouTube about people being questioned by other disabled blue badge holders on whether they should be parking in disabled car spots because "they don't look disabled". I think it's disgusting. If anyone said that to me, they'd get their answer. I have to admit. When I par...

Parking permit

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues obtaining/renewing their disabled parking badge/permit? I got one a couple of years ago and have been trying to renew it since January and they have decided to not renew because apparently I don't need it anymore? Not too sure how they came to this conclu...

Blue badge parking

I am feeling quite annoyed by what may or may not be misuse of the blue badge. I do not wish to be judgmental, but I find it quite hard to feel charitable when I am unable to get a disabled parking space and yet I see people who can apparently easily get out of their cars and can actually return ca...

Parking Rant!

I know that this is an entirely entitled problem, but it's really doing my head in! I managed to get a disabled spot outside my house, we live on a road with on-street parking, but half the time i get home there;s some other mystery blue badge holder parked there and I have to find somewhere else an...

Blue badge hospital car parking

Thought I'd share information I came across by chance. My hospital car park has a camera-controlled number plate recognition system. There are a few disabled spaces round main reception (where the camera, presumably, doesn't film) which allows free parking for blue badge holders. Everywhere else, un...

Temporary disabled parking permits

My latest relapse has really affected my mobility. I've bought myself a scooter which really helps give me some independence. I've got two young children, so it means I can now do the school run, get out the house to see friends and other parents. When venturing out of the village where I live thoug...
