IF the parking spaces for disabled drivers in the multi-storey car park at Mill Gate in Bury are full, are disabled people allowed to park in the Parent & Toddler spaces?

I have every sympathy for disabled people but I recently had a disagreement with two ladies who had parked in the Parent & Toddler spaces but didn't have a child with them. They started shouting that one of them was disabled but I think this was untrue.

Two weeks earlier, when I was with my six-month-old daughter, I had to park on the top floor of the car park, which is not a problem if people are genuinely using the Parent & Toddler spaces. But I am sick of having to wait 10 minutes for a lift and then having to get my daughter out of her pram and into the car in the rain when people without children are using the Parent & Toddler spaces. I often see this happen.

I would never park in a "disabled" space. So I ask disabled and able-bodied drivers to leave the Parent & Toddler spaces for parents and toddlers!
