Hi Kate
Having bother again?
I think I could see myself parking in a disabled spot outside someone's house...but...only if I had a blue badge, had good reason to park there (like I was visiting them) and if there was nowhere else to park.
Sorry for your trouble.
ladyalex :-))
Yes.

(Not really).

my young neighbour does ,in mid 20's AND he;s a policeman
Report him
Not at all - sign of total ignorance
Question Author
lady alex he says he will continue parking there until it is illegal,he says why should i have a private parking spot cause my son is my designated driver
I would not, however they have no meaning in law, so there is nothing you can do. Essentially you are at the mercy of human kindness or otherwise.
Go out take a photo of his car and drop him a nice line saying that you're sure it's a mistake but if the mistake happens again you'll have no option but to send a letter and the photo to the local paper and the local police authority.

That should do it
Opposite where I live is a Disabled bay. The area is close to a local shopping parade so cars come & go all day.

A few years ago the local council decided to put some yellow lines outside a few houses to stop parking close to corners. Unfortunately these lines were outside a house where a disabled driver lives so they put her a specific bay at the end of the yellow lines. However if she is not there any number of cars - sometimes disabled sometimes not - park in the bay.

As a side note the bay has meant a 'neighbour war' with the disabled lady and her neighbour who has the bay outside her house - consequently they haven't spoken since
Doesn't matter whether or not it's illegal the Police authority won't want it dragged through the local press
your son is your designated driver as YOU are disabled. Aah the milk of human kindness runs deep in the Police.....

pinch roadwork cones or the police no waiting cones and put them out :)

or have a word with your local police as Elvis has suggested.
Yes, cos I've got a blue badge.

puternut,this has caused an argument here as well,they dont speak to me now,but i still cant park,i can see them hiding behind their curtains to see if i do anything
Sorry to hear you're still having problems kate. Some people are just bloody minded.
Hi Kate, I had the same problem in the last community house I worked in, there where 3 wheelchair bound males, I now care for a male in his 40s, at time I try not to use the Disabled bays as the person can walk his problem, hemiplegia, But there are some Ignorant Bsds out there.

my son cant park the car there as he is the only neighbour who disputes it,he said if the space is empty he will park his 'own' car in it,he is being like this because i asked him if he could leave the parking space for me and he said no,he has a garage to park in ,we all have one but it;s to far for me to walk
