hello MK'ers

im a regualr shopper at MK but my husband has recently been awarded a blue badge - does anyone know if you need to pay for blue badge spaces or if they are free ?
have never noticed on the parking machines before - not something you tend to remember if it doesnt apply

many thanks

Free.

I use my Blue Badge in the City Centre whenever my DH is available to take me there.

Do make sure it's clearly displayed; the wardens do check.

HTH

The parking wardens hunt in packs in CMK IMO!!! machines at the ready :rotfl::rotfl:

Has anyone used a limo company in MK??? Please any recommendations?
If not, anyone know what I should be looking for with regards to their license etc??

I have used Starlite limos in the past and just booked with them for my daughters prom in June.

About average price, and fully licenced & with new well maintained vehicles. Unlike some they own several limos & hummers and run limo hire as their professional business.

Good rep locally.

Any recommendations for gyms/health clubs in MK?

Once I've finished my course of physio I want to try some more regular exercise but I need to get an idea of which gyms are around in MK. I'm to say I've no idea and I've lived here for years!

Ideally I want somewhere where there is staff available to check machines are being used correctly as I need to be careful with my hip and don't want exercise to actually make it worse.

I've been told the new gym near the Don's Stadium (DW?) is very good and reasonably priced.
