I am spitting (metaphorically). Our Council has decided to hit us blue badge holders with having to pay for parking.
OK, maybe that's fair enough; times are hard and everyone has to pay towards things. However, the ticket machines are not near the disabled spaces, because the car parks weren't designed that way. In fact the spaces where I parked this morning do not have a ticket machine, so there is no alternative other than not parking there.
If you want to pay by 'phone using their 'Ring Go' so-called service, you have to pay for the call (and this cost me £1.90 this morning) for a £1 two hour parking ticket because the voice recognition stuff at their end could not recognise my car registration plate and there was no way of jumping to speak to a real person, and then when I did get to speak to someone I was cut off, so had to call again. I just have a basic pay-as-you-go phone so don't get free minutes or anything and I imagine that many blue badge holders will be the same.
Has anyone else had problems with this Ring Go service?
