Having contacted tesco on this matter they are saying the disabled bays are for blue badge holders only and only for people with physical disabilities. They are completely ignoring the Equality Act and saying to take it up with the council.
They are saying that people with mental health problems who need the bays cannot park there.
Despite being told that Blue Badge scheme is for Council car parks and highways only.
They say because other retailers do this so they will do this and that it is not illegal.
They say to discuss the situation with customer service desk in store.
Also was told that physical disabilities have more priorities than mental disabilities.
If i receive any PCN i will challenge them and make tesco compensate me for many additional distress caused by the situation. I advice others to do the same. Don't let them bully you.
This shows the total ignorance of Tesco and they will quickly fall foul of the Equality Act costing them money and a bad reputation.
What has it got to do with the council, someone at Tesco should be trained properly0 -

That is exactly what I said, it has nothing to do with council.
Tesco are using bullying tactic to scare people.
Maybe Tesco don't want people with mental health disabilities to use their stores because of the social stigma attached to it.0 -
The sooner they go bust the better and it is already happening.I do Contracts, all day every day.0

Can't remember who i spoke to but they said the CEO office are aware of my complaint and their stance is that its blue badge holders only.
Go straight to the CEO's office.

I forgot to add, I was asked if my disability means that it is appropriate for me to take the parking space over a wheelchair user. Was they wrong in asking this?0

I'm not disabled enough to qualify for a Blue Badge - yet.
I don't park in the disabled bays as there are loads of people with more acute problems than I have and I would hate to deny them a space.
So in the meantime I park in the Parent and Child bays.
I get some funny looks and the odd comment but I couldn't care less.
As I live in Scotland, Tesco can go take a hike.0 -
So they invoice the driver & driver doesn't have blue badge, then what. Take them to court. Passenger has the blue badge
That would be fun - worlds easiest defence.Private Parking Tickets - Make sure you put your Subject Access Request in after 25th May 2018 - It's free & ask for everything, don't forget the DVLA0 -

It is wrong to discriminate against all disabled people with protected characteristics as detailed in the EA 2010. This also includes nursing mothers with a young baby. Who are Tesco to say one person's disability is worse that someone else's?
Sorry, only quadraplegics can park here, not someone with only one leg, or, you can't park here because you only have heart failure and don't look disabled.I married my cousin. I had to...I don't have a sister.All my screwdrivers are cordless."You're Safety Is My Primary Concern Dear" - Laks0
