I AM constantly frustrated at the casual attitude of people who misuse disabled parking bays in shopping centres and supermarkets.

I have seen several cars over the last couple of weeks parked in disabled bays without displaying blue badges.

My mother suffers from multiple sclerosis, which is a debilitating disease of the central nervous system.

However, it is not in her nature to make a fuss or complain to anyone misusing a parking bay, but we constantly struggle to find an appropriate space.

Several disabled people have told me that they have encountered the same problem because selfish, ablebodied drivers have parked in disabled bays.

By parking in these spaces, you are denying someone of their independence.

The rules are simple – if you don’t have a blue badge, don’t park there and be grateful that you have the health and strength to able to walk a little further.

If this problem persists, I am going to set up a Facebook page and publish photos so that employers, customers and the police can see the way they misuse clearly marked disabled bays.
