Twonder why some shopping centres have P&C parking nearer the shops than disabled spaces?

[QuiQuaiQuod]

Are parents/nannies disabled/ lazy?

are the children heavy/lazy

are buggies cumbersome? (cos wheelchairs are really light you know

Does no one know what DISABLED actually means? that a physically disabled person uses more than 300% more energy to get anywhere?

And why do they put ticket achiness at one end of the car park or the other? never in the middle and never near disabled places

ANd why do people park in the P&C places when they don't have a child with them (onloy a car seat in the car) and why does ANYONE not disabled feel the fucking selfish cunty balls to park in a disabled place?

What are the percentages of blue badge holders to parents to general population? Id imagine that would give a clear indication of the ratio of disabled spaces/P&C spaces,general parking spaces.

As suggested upthread, it's probably more aligned to the value of BB holders as customers, compared to parents as customers ...

Thats just a cynical opinion (which may or may not be true). To find out if blue badge spaces are in short supply then surely the only fair way would be to compare it to how many people have a blue badge against the number of drivers who do not?

Blue badge holders are not a completely distinct group from parents

No they are not, but for the purposes of disabled parking spaces, I would assume they were as being a parent is irrelevant to the use of disabled parking spaces.

Sort of but all the othering and us against them isnt helpful to anyone.

Not really fair at all when you consider people with disabilities are likely to need to park for longer, and so spaces will have a lower turnover. Maybe the fair way would infact be to ask disabled people who actually live it day in, day out.

Every blue badge holder should be able to access a space when they NEED one.

Parents use the parent and child spaces IF one is free.

For one group they are a luxury, the other a necessity.

TBH, all he supermarkets I visit have all the disabled spaces nearest to the store, with parent & child spaces slightly further way. Which stores are you talking about OP?

Live those shopping centres that have multiple shops or multi storey (and in one the disabled bays are on the 8th floor! WTF?) so very painful to drive up to access shopping centre. they have lifts, so why cant they be on the ground floor?

Some supermarkets. Where I live disabled are very much an afterthought-if thought of at all.

a few have it right, but very few.
