Don't Park in Disabled Bays

Motoristswho abuse the disabled parking bays at the local Community Hospital and health centre face having their vehicles clamped.

This warning has been issued by the local Trust and supported by myself as Chair of the Friends of Bangor Community Hospital. The parking in disabled bays at both these centres has been utterly abused with little thought to those who really need the reserved places. I have appealed to everyone using the car parks take a little time and patience in where you park. I have seen cars parked in the spaces reserved for ambulances and doctors with cars also almost right up the to the front door of the hospital. This is uncaring and unthoughtful, there have been so many complaints by disabled badge holders visiting the hosptial and Bangor Health cetnre the Trust may be compelled to resort to a clamping operation.

The message is give yourself time when going to the Community Hospital or Health Centre and do not deprive a badge carrier of a disabled parking bay.
