I AM increasingly alarmed at the number of drivers with "orange disabled badges" abusing this permit to park, at the expense of genuine persons who are limited in movement.
Regularly, I see drivers leap out of cars and vans and return with bags of shopping, etc., taking up a valuable parking space and leaving a genuinely disabled person with a long and tiring walk.
This is purely lazy and cruel and I hope any such person with the orange badge will consider others in real difficulty who would benefit from the parking place that they have used up.
