Any news on your Blue Badge rejection appeal TD?

Thank you for asking, not yet, but expect to have a shining new BB sometime in January,

If I do not, RBC are going to have a costly fight on their hands, beginning with two formal complaints to the CEO, one about failure to follow due process, and the second alleging Disability Discrimination under EW 2010. If they still play hardball it will be LGO, DC, DfT, MP, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

These sort of spats are bread and butter to me.

It sounds like you get as much pleasure from this as I do from being Toxic to ParkingEye

I think the bloke may have just got a bit confused in thinking that being mentally disabled permits him to park in a mobility impaired parking space.

Actually it could do, if he really was! But he was just a knob, it seems.

Yes he certainly is. Even so I believe that the mental disability would have to include impaired mobility to hold a blue badge.

The Deep: What a disabled person drives has no relevance other than to bigots. The able bodied can easily use public transport eg. a trip to London. A disabled person cannot. Hence why they are excused from congestion / parking charges. You think they are privileged, I am sure the genuinely disabled would gladly forgo all their 'privileges' to be free of disability. Most people don't realise what a privilege it is just simply being able to go for a walk.

I used to drive mentally disabled people around and some of them had Blue Badges (and no mobility issue as such). I expect it was more about the potential danger to them if having to wander all over the place when getting out of a car, as they really did need to be parked near to an amenity for safety's sake when being driven somewhere. Some were big guys twice the size of me so I certainly couldn't possibly have guided/'womanhandled' them along a road if we couldn't have used a disabled bay or double yellow!

RobinHill

If a person is unable to safely walk then that would qualify as impaired mobility.
