Having accessible car parking spaces is crucial for the lives of disabled drivers. But the BBC has discovered NCP, one of the largest car parking firms, is failing to provide the numbers of accessible bays recommended by government guidelines.

    capstar633 If you think that the Royal Family should be liable you help out all disabled people with parking then you’ve left the bounds of credibility. This is government, not monarchy.

    Its not aboutisabled spaces which should having enough disability car spaces for the severely disabled.Its about having them in the rght place,its about the army of lightly disabled who are issued a blue badge which put pressure on the spaces which should only be available for severely disabled blind persons on the government database as defined in law. Complaints are already been looked at in law Changes in railway train layout for disabled persons and station access. Too many blue badges given to those who ont qualify. Failure of the local authorities to stop parking on pavements and cafe chairs and tables obstructing the pavements. Micheal ove has already told parliment that it is illegal discrimination to charge disabled persons 15 pounds to be dropped off at heathow, gatwick, and other airports for access. The CEO at heathrow has been told to resign,in addition he has removed disabled parking spaces and replaced them with electric car charging spaces,he has failed to put help points around terminals for the disabled as you see on station platforms. There are no moving walk ways at airports, a blind disabled man was trapped without assistance in terminal 5 for an hour and a half after his flight....this CEO is not upto the job.

    I can’t get a blue badge. I get enhanced care on pip but no enhanced mobility. Even though I’ve got degenerative spine which is crumbling. When it flares up I can barely walk

    I need to use the tube - I have a blue badge and there not enough disability parking spaces and I need the tube to go to hospital appointments in Central London. NCP want charged 'all day' before all the disability parking are full! The Department recommends that where car parking provision is in excess of 50 spaces 4% should be reserved specifically for people with disabilities. Parking bays should be 3.6 metres wide [3.3 minimum] to allow transfer from car to a wheelchair.
