Re: Disabled parking warning
 

I know a couple of people that have stopped visiting accy arndale simply cos of the ridiculous fines for a matter of inches, one person i know had no choice cos of the car parked very badly beside her, she got done told them, but the badly parked car had obviously gone before the warden came round, so as far as they were concerned,she was a liar.

Re: Disabled parking warning
 

The parking in Arndale is now under the control of a private company.
Staff working there, or any body who needs to park for over three hours must pay £40 a month and park on the higher floors.
I am a volunteer at the Accrington and District Blind society in the Arndale and we got a letter from the parking people.
I usually do two hours on Mondays so I'm OK but every week or two I do a full Saturday shift so I find it easier to catch the bus and walk across from the new bus station.
I went to my car one day and a man was parked in a disabled parking bay wih his blue badge on display. He had a parking fine on his windscreenand he was arguing like mad with the warden saying he had only been half an hour. The warden pointed out the blue badge was four days out of date, cost £65. No compassion whatsoever.
