In England 'Visitor Attractions' vary a great deal as to who can claim a disabled person discount. |

Until a couple of years ago UK car tax was displayed on the window screen. If the car was dedicated to a disabled person the tax disk showed that. With the disk parking widely free nationwide. Now the disks have gone free parking is limited to local district some of which choose not to. Each district has to come up with its own scheme and screen sticker. |

Opposite the bus stop where I stand every work day, there is a disabled 'bay' (markings on the road). |

In Australia it is an offence for people to park in bays marked for disabled parking unless the vehicle displays an ACROD permit |

Our son in law was given a blue badge when he was diagnosed with cancer, I think it was what would be classed as temporary. |

Blue badge applications are made through local council and cost £10. |

In England you either apply via your local council or online on the .gov site. I don't think there is a cost involved, but I'm not that familiar with the form. It does have to be renewed every few years. |

You can get either temporary or permanent disabled parking permits here .......... both have a form that has to be filled in by the family doctor specifying exactly what is wrong. Then the form and payment has to be submitted to the issuing authority. |

We didn't ever apply for a blue badge for Fred BUT my OH does have gout and, very, very occasionally, when he needs to do something and I can't go in his place, I have sat in the car in a disabled space while he does do whatever it is, and I will, of course, move the car if a disabled person needs the space. |

In Barbra's case, I'd have beeen inclined to block her in by parking across her rear and overlapping the disabled bay you'd originally intended to use. |

A near neighbour has erected a lovely friendly sign on his gate saying: "Please feel free to park across my gateway". |
