Shocked by parking ticket


I am writing in support of the letter from G F Earlestown, ‘Parking for Disabled Drivers’.

I am 100% in agreement with his comments and I too am a registered disabled and have a blue badge.

However, on returning to my car after visiting my doctors, I was both shocked and annoyed to find a parking ticket on my windscreen.

At 65, and having passed my test at 18, this is the first ticket I have ever received.

At my doctors there is ‘disabled’ parking for one car in their car park.

Surely this is not enough.

Hello S Smith
You never said if you were parked illegally or you were parked for too long.Do we take it that blue badge holders can park anywhere and or park as long as they wish?
Maybe you have been doing it for so long you don't the difference.Would you clear this up please?Thank you.

Not ALL are spongers mosser, so get you facts sorted before you tar everyone with the same brush..One day, you or a relative may be entitled to a disabled badge..If so, your attitude may change

Judging by the number of ble badges in use in St Helens, an ingrowing toenail should suffice as evidence of server health problems.

all this blue badge thing is gettin annoyin now, sympathy for all those who actually need them, but im sorry whether you have a badge or not it is still dangerous to park in some places, also a blue badge doesnt mean tha you can park bad, ive seen disabled parkers taking two spaces, people seem to think that blue badges are the key to the town and can do what they want, despite the danger, inconvenience or even jus the inconsiderateness of people blockin the road
