Interesting stuff (and I'm glad you got a reply; I've heard nothing from the Trust as yet). I'll try and get this onto the site. It looks as though Disabled badge holders are in the firing line. My thoughts, for what they're worth... It's right to consider the cost implications of running a secure car park that will keep spaces free for ambulances, deliveries etc. Having a Disabled badge isn't an indicator of wealth - it shows that mobility is limited, which may mean that public transport is less of an option (buses don't always stop right outside someone's front door). Parking charges do affect the decision on whether or not public transport is used. We still don't know how much the Trust makes from parking fees - I will write again to find out. |
