Eric Arthur Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Put the spaces at the back of the car park. If there was ever a group that needed more a bit more exercise it's new mummies with their collapsed pelvic floors and their obese offspring.

I don't have a problem with them put the parking spaces further away however some mums suffer with PGP (me included) and I couldn't walk very far during pregnancy or sometime after. This was not laziness, I just physically couldn't walk faster than snails pace or very far. Oh and my offspring aren't obese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can walk miles round a supermarket but have to park next to the door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2print Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 No I could not. I would only get the odd thing so I didn't have to go very far or only if it was something I needed to see for myself before buying. I would often send me husband shopping as I couldn't manage the walk and I couldnt push a trolley. It takes time for a woman's body to recover even if they don't suffer from Pelvic Girdle Pain. Some woman of course dont have a partner and have to struggle. My sister had PGP too and 9 months later still struggles sometimes. However I still think that the child spaces would be better further away. As on the whole most parents can manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_Boy Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Maybe the lady with the convertible Mercedes didn't want her car being scratched by the door of another car as a consequence of the very narrow regular parking spaces in supermarket carparks . Yeah that's why I use them all the time with or without the kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Parent parking spaces are a courtesy and a privilege to use, blue badge spaces aren't. Hence no need for people to pay any heed to the allocation of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you really want a group of people with un-predictable children to have to walk all the way across a busy car park? Especially when there is an easier, already implemented solution? This would never happen, no supermarket chain would want to deal with the visit from the HSE when a child gets killed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would never happen, no supermarket chain would want to deal with the visit from the HSE when a child gets killed! You are making a very good point. The simple solution is to ban under 14's from supermarkets and do away with parent and child parking spaces completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) as far as i'm aware, Blue badge holders can park in any space that's the most convenient for them, that includes parent and child spaces.... (blue badge holders can also use NCP and council property to park without enforcement) As for people with kids at home using them, that I don't agree with.... But also, I did read somewhere (can't remember where or the original source) that anyone can park anywhere in a supermarket car park, as it's not legally enforceable by the local parking officers or street police etc... Supermarkets may have their own rules for their car parks, but it's up to them to enforce them... Edited February 1, 2016 by Ghozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some thing which said a vehicle owner is only legally obliged to give details to the Police and Council who was driving a vehicle when asked . From my understanding anyone getting a ticket in a supermarket carpark can just refuse to say who parked the vehicle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
