There's one of those in my road and it's only used by the guy who asked for it in the first place. It's there for anybody with a blue badge, but nobody would dare.
Today we had a troupe of road workers arrive who boarded up 'his' space in his absence and got on with their work. When he came back, he let off a couple of volleys of expletives and then drove off again. So far, so normal. 20 min. later, 2 police cars, 3 officers. WTH. Nothing ever happens here and suddenly it's down town Manhattan. Go after real crime please.
