I was transporting people I support who have significant disabilities, including autism and learning disabilities. I parked in a disabled bay with a genuine, valid Blue Badge. To the best of my knowledge, I displayed it properly, but it seems it may have slipped or fallen out of view afterwards. The parking company says…

At my local retail park (Snowhill Wakefield) they never had low level signs displaying terms and conditions that could be read by a disabled driver without leaving the vehicle. However I noticed on my visit today that they have installed some new signs near some disabled bays. It appears from the information supplied on…

I made two visits a few days apart to the car park of a disused building, first to drop off a PC at a repair shop and a second to pick it up again. I didn't see any cameras even though I looked for one so I assumed it was warden patrolled. There was a sign at…

Hey guys, It was a private property, visiting my nience who live there.

Greetings I've posted once before and everyone was very helpful for which I am grateful :) Here I dropped off a friend at Luton and forgot to pay the dropoff and received a PCN not long ago.
