Asda and all the other supermarkets could enforce the Disabled Parking if they wanted to.

The owner of private land (and Asda car parks are private land) that is available for parking for the general public can clamp any vehicle that does not heed the terms for parking on that land and charge a fee for removing the clamp.

I notice that the sign adjacent to the Disabled Bays at the Grimshaw Park, Blackburn Asda only shows the disabled logo, whereas before it used to state that the bays were reserved for people displaying a Blue Badge.

It’s a cop out because anyone can park there now and if challenged all they have to say is, “I am disabled” and the Asda official can only accept their word. They certainly can’t challenge the statement and ask the motorist to prove it even if the person leaps out of the car and runs into Asda or in Blackburn’s case makes a dash to the ATM.
