First of all this is not meant to start a debate. Hence no name change
Mn have started to open my eyes to the difficulties that the disabled face on a daily basis. With that in mind, I went shopping to my local supermarket. Not my usual one but a local one either way.
We parked in the parent bays.
Directly in front of the supermarket. No roads to cross. Nice and wide. Gaps either side to allow parent accessibility each side. Perfect!
Then I looked for the BB bays.
They were further away from the entrance and each bay was connected to a footpath. They seemed to be the usual size of a car park space and there was no gaps between each space either. There was also bollards in front of each bay to stop cars from parking on the footpath. However if every bay was occupied, there would be no way a wheelchair could get on the foot path. They would have to go on the road.
How on earth could they get this so wrong?!
It would make so much sense to swap round the bays so the disabled have the parking spaces that are more accessible.
If this is what a disabled person has to go through every single day, I can see why you are angry.
For my ignorance, I openly apologise to each and every one of you. I openly applaud those who go out every day and fight for more rights when you shouldn't have to.
