ok, dyslexia is classed as a disability. Does that mean that dyslexics can park in disabled bays?

Anybody can park in a private disabled bay as such a thing does not exist. Blue Badges are for council parking and mean nothing in a private car park. 'Disabled spaces' in private car parks are specfically for people with reduced mobility - ie. morally somebody with a broken leg can and should park there. Legally anybody can park there. Just like anybody can park in the spaces for familys with kids.

isn't that part of the T&C's for being able to park in a disabled spot? that you display a blue badge, the same if it's on a public road and not a private car park?

No, the Blue Bage Scheme does not apply on private property.

It would have to be a council regulated and controlled car park for that and TBH, there are a few places where stores share a legit council car park but most are private operated.

cheers for that. My local Sainsburys has put almost every decent parking spot as a disabled one, there must be about 50 disabled spots and 30 none disabled. If it doesn't apply on private property i'll park in them, especially as you never see anywhere near that many people who'd need to park closer to the doors.

more like they'll hassle people who are parked in a disabled spot when they're not disabled and shouldn't be using the spot.

It might come as a surprise to you but Blue Badges are not proof of any sort of disabillity and many disabled people actually don't have one or can still find it difficult to qualify.

Meanwhile, the Equality Act requires stores to make provisions for all customers, badge or no badge and that would include appropriate parking and time to shop.

Is there any need to be so rude

Is there any need for anyone to try and justify the actions of these lowlifes?

it does actually; as i'm not disabled and don't know many people who are i wasn't aware of it. Like most people (probably) i thought that it was proof, hence people needing to display it; although i was aware that some people struggle to get one.

Going back to the original post, our Morrisons charge but you do get it refunded if you shop in store....

If you buy anything in store you get your £1 back for one hours parking, if spend over £10 you get two hours parking and your £2 charge back and so on. To me that is a sensible solution and one they had to take after everyone was using the car park to shop in the city centre and go elsewhere...It gets quite busy at the best of times without adding all the city centre parking in it as well.

Why can't all supermarkets do it like this?

Here is an example James,of what is wrong with these companies,and how when a private individual tries to mimic the real laws they should be ignored.
I got a ticket because I accidentally inputed the wrong registration number.The company refused to do anything about it.Does that seem fair or right to you? (apart from the fact they are unenforceable),their ethics are not sound.I was a genuine customer,they still wanted to "fine" me.

If you follow all four steps it stops you looking a bit of a tool when you reply to something that's already been corrected and the poster then realised he wasn't aware that what he originally said... was wrong.

Really - Then why is the poster still trying to justify scamming via ANPR on this very page?

Perhaps if the poster is allowed to post without being verbally attacked,you can discuss that?
