Why not pay for it and then be reimbursed if you use the parking space?

City to start charging blue badge holders for matchday disabled parking

I don’t accept that either, because on numerous occasions last season I arrived at the Orange car park to be told there were no wheelchair spaces left as they’d been ‘over booked’ and we had to park in a normal space. This despite me being registered for a wheelchair space and having the email confirmation on my phone. Maybe the issue is the Blue car park? It’s definitely not the case with the Orange Car Park.How do you know 50% did? Where did you get that figure from?
BingoThat's simple then isn't it. Tell the repeat offenders they no longer have the privilege of booking a free space.

Wow how condescending. Give them a little pat on the head as they go by, might make them feel better.Maybe it was originally introduced as a little perk for them because the poor sods have to live with a disability

Why should they be reimbursed, they should pay like everyone else has too. I don't see why it should be free.Why not pay for it and then be reimbursed if you use the parking space?

For me, it’s empathy for their situation. If they abuse that privilege, then it should be removed.Why should they be reimbursed, they should pay like everyone else has too. I don't see why it should be free.

You sure have a lot to say on this , well repeating yourself really, you have no idea what you are talking aboutWhy should they be reimbursed, they should pay like everyone else has too. I don't see why it should be free.
Not condescending at all. Just that disabled people might have er a disability, some may not be able to work due to said disability.Wow how condescending. Give them a little pat on the head as they go by, might make them feel better.
The Orange car park works on ANPR and they can easily calculate the no shows from the listI don’t accept that either, because on numerous occasions last season I arrived at the Orange car park to be told there were no wheelchair spaces left as they’d been ‘over booked’ and we had to park in a normal space.

Although the wheelchair spaces were always overbooked, walking from the ambulant spaces through the Disabled spaces I can confirm that most games, 15 minutes before KO the spaces were around 50% capacity
You’re correct in the main but there are of course other criteria additions to it too and yes it is a strict application.They definitely wouldn't get a blue badge. It's specifically to do with mobility and very strict. It's difficult to define disabled but qualifying for a blue badge is a pretty good benchmark. Physical disability anyway.
