I was taking my 73 year old mother who has Párkinsons to an outpatient appointment at WISHAW General. Her mobility is restricted and there was no where to park. I had to abandon her with 2 sticks at the front entrance and drive all over the hospital in search of a space, knowing full well the same would happen again on exit because it would be too far for her to walk. I parked, alongside another 3 disability users who had no space either, all of us in an unobtrusive way, causing no obstruction and displaying a BLUE BADGE, detailing the time I’d stopped. Having attended the appointment and returning to the vehicle an hour and thirty minutes later it had been stickered, even though there was still no obstruction being caused by our vehicle. To my mind, the hospital would be better placed moving the drivers on who monopolise the spaces with no blue badge rather than hounding the vulnerability of my mum who was attempting to abide by the road markings. Very dissatisfied by this today WGH!
