How can people be so uncaring?
I couldn’t believe it as I’m 83 and my husband is 88 and recovering from a stroke. I wouldn’t have minded paying the normal parking charge at all but decided to use the badge because I didn’t want him to have to walk too far or for us to stay out too long.
In the end I had to navigate all the closed roads in the town and find my way to the district council offices near Warwick New Road - all the time getting more and more upset. I just didn’t know what we’d done wrong or why we should be fined.

Apparently the ticket can’t be cancelled once issued. I’ve filled in an explanation form but haven’t been able to sleep since. Now I have to wait two weeks to see if I can be let off. How can people be so uncaring? - Name and address supplied.
