Can anyone tell me if it's an offence to park in a disabled parking bay which is painted on the road outside someone's house.

Our neighbour has one of these bays which he uses twice a week, choosing to park his car at the rear of his property for the majority of the time.

Parking is at a premium in the street and a number of people will park in this bay from time to time. If a compaint is made would they get a ticket?

It depends on your council and their local laws, They have to meet strict criteria in the first place to have one out side their home. see this example of a place where tickets are NOT enforced.

These bays are only courteously.  Anyone can legally park in these bays but those ablebodied who do so are plain sickos

Hopalong.... I work with people with disabilities and quite agree that people who park in the bays at supermarkets, etc for people with disabilities are totally out of order. I have been known to tackle able bodied people who park in those bays.

The guy I am talking about has been given his bay under false pretences. Since posting my question I have discovered our local council policy states that people who have another parking area ajacent to thair property will not be given a bay. This guy parks his car in his back yard most of the time but expects neighbours to keep his spot in front of his home clear too. I will be asking the council to remove the bay asap!

I am a disabled badge holder that I have when I am out with my brother. (he's the driver)   I get so angry when abled bodied use them even more so when they use a disabled persons badge.  There is a Costco warehouse in Glasgow and Traders use thes bays to park their vans and load up. Leaving  people like  me to find another parking bay.
