Do any of you have a disabled parking bay for your DC?

[Thomcat]

They are proposing double yellow lines on the main road and into my road. This will effect the first 7 houses and parking will have a huge knock on effect.

I really don't want to have to be parked right up the street and somehow get DD! through to 3 into house safely on my own.

Can't have a drive, been refused, something to do with extra wide grass verge.

So applying for a bay.

Been told that they don't usually give them out for children with SNs as parents can use a buggy or a pushchair for child so therefore won't need a bay outside house.

Anyone else got one and did you fight for it and if so what won it for you in the end?

we got one when dd was little.(have a drive now) didn't have any problems how olsd is your dd?

Haven't got one (don't have a car!) but a good friend has a 5 year old with Downs and she has a space.

Not sure...... Ours are great at some things, and totally crap at others. Like respite.

we got one really easily

Thinmk we got given a number to ring, then we had to fill out a form, we got one failry quickly

We were offered one but I turned it down - were only expecting to live here 2 years, will be 3, but can usually get a space outside so not too bothered. think the rails up to the front door give the more observant parkers a clue.

Blimey, it really is a postcode thing isn't it
