    That's great that excludes a lot of genuine holders

    Can I ask is your profession doctor by chance?

    A lot of people have hidden disabilities, heart conditions dont always effect walking.
    What we need is people with clipboards standing by the disabled spots. If someone gets out and doesn't walk badly enough, they get their blue badge revoked.

    So they keel over, bringing natural selection back into the human race isn't a bad thing.

    Really glad you have a lot of sympathy for those less fortunate

    You will hopefully be old one day yourself and have a disability of have a unfortunate accident and loose some limbs. Perhaps you might feel differently then

    Glad no one on here can make the decision whether a BB holder is entitled to park or not, despite what peoples views getting one isnt easy task you are tested and asked how you disability effects you backed up by your doctor in some cases

    Indeed

    If you going to make sarcastic comments perhaps this isnt the place for it, I think people that have a disability which I do but not one that effects me to use a BB space have enough problems in the real world

    I think this thread has gone completly off the initial subject and should be left to shrivel up on the wayside Good Bye

    I don't understand why the P&C spaces need to be right outside the main doors in the prime parking spots, I have noticed in several supermarkets round here that the P&C spaces are both more numerous AND closer to the doors than the disabled spaces - thats ridiculous having a child does not make you less able than anyone else.


    This used to be the case with my local Asda too, twice as many P&C spaces than disabled, but a couple of months ago everything changed and most of the P&C spaces were changed to disabled, leaving a handful of P&C spaces at the far end of the car park (still near to the store but not right outside).

    There were still problems tho with people parking in the disabled bays when they had no entitlement to, but that was soon sorted, they have now employed attendants who monitor the bays.
