Parking at the Range Free Car Park

Perhaps your relative should apply for a blue badge in the meantime.

Disabled badges are not given out on a temporary basis so a person can be in plaster and on crutches but can't park nearer. Sometimes a store will allow parking in a disabled bay without a blue badge if the customer has had an accident or/and needs to borrow a wheelchair from the store. I think that the store could cancel this ticket because they must have to deal with customers with temporary disabilities.

I have known stores pay for a taxi when a customer has been ill in their store. When someone fell outside Marks and Spencer they took a dressing gown off the rack to keep the person warm until the ambulance arrived. The Range should surely cancel this. PPC'S are like vultures picking on the vulnerable.

A £100 may be the cost of a good bottle of wine to a Supreme Court judge but to an OAP it represents a large part of their State Pension. The Beavis case may have succeeded on legality but it's morally wrong.

So right ..... and of course the Supreme court are not forward
thinking ..... well they can't be because their ruling has
resulted in the county courts being crammed full with
fake claims ??? How clever is that ???

Have you ever tried to apply for a blue badge? We tried to obtain one for my 95-year old MIL so that the kind people who drive her to the shops can park nearer so she does not have to walk so far. Because she does not have a disability, just old and finds it hard to walk far, the amount of hoops we/she had to jump through caused me to think that if she could jump through all those hoops, she would need a blue badge!

In the end we gave up in exasperation and people just drop her off near the shop entrance, cause an obstruction while they take her to the door and then go and park the car!

People that have been recommended for a knee replacement have been able to get a blue badge quite quickly. I guess that it is a bit of a lottery according to where you live. It might be worth the OP trying to obtain a blue badge.

I am aware that people with certain cancer diagnoses can get a BB without even having a photo on it, nor even filling the forms in themselves.

I guess it depends on the conditions the person has (and the local authority and NHS and CAB help offered). It can be relatively easy.
