It's important to keep the donors on side ๐

This whole topic has come up because hospitals have started charging blue badge holders to park. Hospital parking charges are a disgrace, period
Who should pay to build, maintain and administer car parks if not the people using them? If you put a free car park anywhere near a town or city then people will use it to leave their car all day while they walk down the road to work. Hence all of the on street parking restrictions near business parks and industrial estates.
my mate on benifits uses walking sticks has to pay the 20 quid taxi/train fares to get to the hospital..
He should be able to reclaim the cost of travel, get him to speak to the hospital's PALS team.
kin'ell... Does assisting those less fortunate than ourselves really need much explanation
It does, a bit.
From what I gather listening to disabled people in the media, they don't generally want freebies or charity. They want the ability to do whatever everyone else does as much as possible. That means enabling them to get out and abortion town, but that doesn't mean handouts because oh look at the poor dears how terrible.
That's just from watching, kistening and reading though, I don't know any disabled people closely. Not yet at least.
Oh.. not sure why they get the Severn bridge for free though...? Anyone educate me?
Did you read any of the info people have linked to earlier?
Interesting view from a disabled driver -
