    Of course just because someone does not display a blue badge does not mean that they are not disabled.

    That's true. However if a sign says 'Blue Badge Holders Only' then non badge holders should park elsewhere. Of course if someone was the kind of ignorant ape that thinks "well it's not against the law" there's not much we can do. Sad isn't it?

    Technically anyone can park there - it's private land so parking is unenforceable.

    Beggars belief why anyone would though. Parent and child spaces are much closer to the door and the cashpoint at my local Tesco - go figure?

    Not so simple.

    If the spaces are meant for those with a disability then anyone with one can park there.
    To limit them to people displaying blue badges is discriminatory.

    If people who use spaces intended for others then it may be because they are lazy/ignorant/ill mannered/spiteful/etc

    Parking is enforceable on private land, lots of places have clamping in place with charges for removal. The supermarkets and retail parks don't want to upset the shoppers though so they don't enforce anything - they just have the spaces to make them look good.
