My child is the holder of a blue badge and when the school he attends has a lot of disabled children so they made outside of their school a blue badge zone. Each space is for blue badge holders only. There is a near by car park a 5 minuet walk for other parents who are not blue badge holders. Today while I was trying to get parked a couple were parking up who I know not to have a blue badge. (Us parents All get to know each other) so anyways it’s not my business I got myself parked and got my child out and into his pushchair and collected his bag and sorted myself out and this man came up to me asking how one gets one of the badges and how much is it. I said you can’t buy them they are for disabled people and you are given one from the council if you qualify. He told me it doesn’t matter and legally he gets 10mins to park where he wants so he can park in these bays regardless aslong as he’s back within 10mins. I told him that’s not fair as Everytime someone who doesn’t have a badge parks here it’s stopping a disabled child parking here! The school are very strict on parking here and there is often a parking attendant here but today was not.
so is this man correct? He can park there for 10mins and nobody can do anything about it? Generally if you park there and dash into school and dash back out I suppose it would take less than 10mins. He is legally allowed?
