Very annoying
Cherry Bomb:
As I understand it, to qualify for a disabled 'blue badge' you have to be physically disabled. I'm not sure of the definition, but it's summut like not being able to walk more than 'X' metres unaided.
Other disabilities entitle you to disability living allowance but not a blue badge to park in disabled spaces. So if your deaf or dyslexic(SP!! :shock: ) Ya still have to park with the rest of us.

Hummm, as a disabled person who's been through the mill all I can add is get citizens advice involved ASAP when applying, they even have direct telephone numbers/e-mail addresses to the snivil sir-vents administering the schemes. Even then if they think your not from a suitable back-ground (loads-a-money for legal help or supported ethnicity for legal help) you may still not get DLA or a blue badge....
My employer grants me a disabled parking permit, but no guranteed bay at same cost as everyone elses normal bay, IF I had a blue badge my parking at work would be free.
One of the reasons I drive a land-rover is the seating posistion with a "back-friend" is better for me than any normal car.
As far as lazy B'tards parking in marked bays goes, well you don't expect them to walk if they can avoid it do you!

Yep, the uni is supposed to use the money for security etc, but it gets lost along the way rather....
They have a capped amount of spaces, the city council enforces it ruthlessly, even though the uni is the biggest local employer in the city, and to encourage use of p/t unilink etc we pay to park, those that live within 3 miles apply for permits, but rarely get them, unless disabled or business needs require a car. Stoodense unless they live within the city to start with may not bring a vehicle to uni at all, unless disabled, during their first year.
