ukpc moves in

splity

ukpc moves into riverside park northampton,went down 6pm to pick up a couple of items ,they had at least 15 empty disabled bays so as i was only going to be 10 min i parked there i know i shouldnt but ended up with ticket from them £90 !!! or £54 within 14 days ,should i pay?

No, but you shouldn't really park in disabled bays if you aren't.

Sir_Roger_deLodger

Parking in a disabled bay is inconsiderate if you are not disabled, but if you do it doesn't entitle a private company to make 90 quid profit.

Ignore UKPC.

If you knew you shouldnt, why did you park there?

The ticket is unenforcable as said above but that doesnt mean you can just use disabled bays without a good reason (like being disabled as opposed to only being 10 minutes)

Very funny...except that Tourettes wouldn't be a reason for anyone to take up a disabled bay, even on private land like a Supermarket car park. It's certainly a disability protected by the Equality Act - and a distressing condition for those who have it - but it would not in itself give cause to use a disabled bay...

I think the message has already been given that none of us approve of someone taking up a disabled bay but that doesn't mean a third party rip-off merchant are suddenly due a contribution to their Christmas jolly. Two wrongs don't make a right!

Ignore UKPC, bunch of saddos. I have a stack of tickets from them, nothing ever happens despite all the toilet paper they send me.

I'd suggest you ignore the ticket and then make a suitable donation to a disability charity to make up for your selfishness.

But make sure it's a decent disability charity and not something which Helen Dolphin had her hands in
