点评:So me and my partner visited today. My partner has a blue badge.
We went to the disabled parking area and was met with nearly every bay occupied by cars not displaying blue badges. Out of the 30 cars I looked at only 4 had blue badges displayed. We ended up having to park at the furthest point away from the shops due how busy it was and needing extra door space.
I messaged the centre on Facebook and got an automated reply saying to ring the number as they weren’t available.
I rang the number to be greeted with a security guard who I complained about the parking to and asked why it wasn’t being enforced.
I explained that as it was private land that they were well within their rights to issue parking charges.
He said he had spoken to management about it previously and it sounded like the management couldn’t care less.
He also explained that some of the bays are shared use for disabled and parent/child. This is not obvious as the markings are on the floor under the cars.
Whose hare brained idea was it to make the disabled bays shared use as all that does is open it up to abuse by everyone. Case in point as we were passing by a woman in her own without a blue badge or a child parked in the bay.
Being disabled isn’t a choice whereas having a child is so why do they need priority parking closer to the shops.
I certainly won’t be visiting there again.
There is no reason apart from greed where they can’t put the parent parking a little further away and put zebra crossings in. It’s all greed as having new lines painted costs money.
翻译:所以今天我和我的伙伴去了。我的伙伴有一个蓝色徽章。
我们去了残疾人停车区,发现几乎每个停车位都被没有显示蓝色徽章的汽车占用了。在我看过的 30 辆车中,只有 4 辆显示了蓝色徽章。由于人太多,需要额外的门口空间,我们最终不得不把车停在离商店最远的地方。
我在 Facebook 上给中心发了消息,收到一条自动回复,说要拨打电话,因为他们不在。
我拨打了电话,一名保安迎接了我,我向他抱怨了停车问题,并询问为什么不强制执行。
我解释说,因为这是私人土地,他们完全有权收取停车费。
他说他之前已经和管理层谈过这件事了,听起来管理层根本不在乎。
他还解释说,一些停车位是残疾人和父母/孩子共用的。这并不明显,因为标记在汽车下面的地板上。
是谁的愚蠢想法让残疾人专用停车位共享使用,因为这样做只会让每个人都滥用它。例如,我们路过一个没有蓝色徽章的女士,或者一个孩子停在停车位上。
残疾不是选择,而生孩子是选择,那么为什么他们需要在商店附近优先停车呢?
我肯定不会再去那里了。
除了贪婪之外,没有理由不能把父母停车位放远一点,并设置斑马线。这都是贪婪,因为画新线是要花钱的。
