wrinkly67 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Even with a blue badge there is still a charge for parking. Had you paid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we display our BB the buggers are out to take our brass at the first opportunity. Then folk who have shops in City Centres wonder why we are deserting them for out of Town shops with free parking - it's a no brainer. Angel.

alchresearch Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 No i didnt know you had to pay with a b b displayed so i will have to pay the early payment of 25 pounds Did you not look at the signs that are dotted around the car park detailing the different parking areas? To be fair it's not the council's fault if you can't or won't read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurg Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I did the same over New Year and also got a ticket!. I was told by the parking enforcement officers that there were 6 free spaces in Chesterfield BUT wasnt able to tell me where they were! I asked them where the signs were ........ but they chose to ignore me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 No i didnt know you had to pay with a b b displayed so i will have to pay the early payment of 25 pounds Most councils do not charge blue-badge holders for parking in council car parks: most multi-storey places do charge, but I'm aware of exceptions to both. It's always advisable to go and read the blurb at the pay-and-display meter, to make sure this doesn't happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bus man Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 local councils are NOT obliged to give free parking to blue badge holders, it is however the responsibility of the car driver to check the signs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
