Re: NON disabled drivers at Asda
 

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.

My husand has a disabled badge but if he is having a "good" day he leaves the disabled spaces for someone who may really need them.

I see that you are still hogging the moral high ground with your holier than thou attitude whilst making snide remarks.

Yet do not have the moral fibre to address your facile remarks direct to the person.

Re: NON disabled drivers at Asda
 

Aha! Yet another critter has crawled out from under a stone to make a snide remark.

Any more?

No I didn’t. Your post was inconsequential.:tongueout

Re: NON disabled drivers at Asda
 

If you really want to know how concerned asda, or any other supermarket is about certifying disabled parking, note that, the parent and children bays are nearer to the doors than the disabled bays, this is because asda and the likes respect money, and cars with parents and children in are likely to spend more than the (usually) sole occupant of a disabled badgeholder. They are as likely to clamp down on atm users here as they are on disabled bays.

We used to go to Colne Asda a lot and now go to Accrington. The disabled bays are nearer the doors at both, although you could argue that Accy Asda there is a more equal distance

Re: NON disabled drivers at Asda
 

Not at Grimshaw Park Asda they are not.

However there are some normal parking bays closer to the main entrance than some disabled bays.
