Wheelchair car bays should be more highlighted as we often have problems parking; if for example there are 50
'Disabled' bays, anyone parks there as in our observation
When trying to park usually all 'normal' cars with self driving so there should be proper wheelchair spaces.

I totally agree with the original comment, I also do not understand about parent and baby spaces being so close to the shops as most of them don't struggle to get there older children out of the car. Please can I ask your thoughts of using a parent and child space when there are no disabled ones available as I was verbally abused by someone recently for doing just that.
many thanks. -
Disableed peoples needs must come 1st park where you can

Thank you xx

@Misscleo how would you define disabled in this example?
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change! -
I have used child space and put blue badge up had no problems these are mainly in super market car parks.

Its a matter of giving way to who ever has the most need at that time.
No two times will bs the same so if you see a disablex person struggling please move out of thdir way. And remembdr ot all dusabilitys can be seen so look for who ever is struggling the most AND GET OUT OF THEUR WAY -
How do you get your disabled badge I have just started receiving pip
-
To qualify automatically for a Blue Badge you will need at least 8 points for getting around. Go to gov.uk, Blue Badge section, you will be asked to type in your local authority name, then you will receive an online application form from that LA.
-
When you go on the net for your blue badge please make your on the gov" site cos people are being charged £49 for their badge.
Your badge from the "gov" site will cost you £10 in england and as much as £ 20 in scoland
