Blue Badges should not be chargeable to those on low incomes as with so many other things costing more and less coming in, cost of mobility is out of the question for so many
that when a disabled person can get out it
needs to be understood this is not a normal thing for them and all the help possible should be given not more obstacles.

It is ridiculous, there were empty disbaled bays everywhere, yet I couldnt use them, perhaps there is a reason for closing them until 10 a.m. for delivery lorry's, but after this time it seems pointless, and I for one am doing my shopping elsewhere, because of the parking!

The imposed changes to Town Centre access, without any opportunity to scrutinise their effects on people with restricted mobility or, for that matter, cyclists or pedestrians, are a practical joke of the sort that backfires and is resented for decades. They are the legacy of the three people responsible - Pat Baxter, Richard Willis and Tony Page.
