I've absolutely no problem with the concept in general but why does it have to be next to the entrance to a store? Unlike the disabled children can walk, or be pushed, and having them is a choice. It's particularly surreal at Milton Tesco where I think I'm right in saying that since the last re-vamp of the car park the P&C parking is nearer the entrance than the disabled! So a good opening gambit at Milton Tesco, which might help with Shan's problem too, would be for them to simply swap the disabled with the P&C parking. Then there would be a lot less incentive for the inconsiderate to park in the P&C parking as it would be a little further away from the entrance. And having done that it's then easier to police the disabled parking as users have to have a blue badge so it would be easier for Tesco to keep the low life out (not that they will mind you, but that's the theory). -- Paul
