HAVING read many readers' letters about disabled parking, may I put another point forward?
One correspondent said that trying to push a wheelchair and a trolley at the same time was hard work for both. Have you not noticed that major supermarkets provide trolleys that fit on to a wheelchair - but does anyone provide one that fits onto a pushchair? No they don't.
There are several parent and child parking spaces available but they are often filled with people whose children who can walk into the store unaided, or those who sit in the car with the child while the partner goes into the store to do the shopping.
Surely these spaces are for parents with pushchair-aged children, to save us from walking half the length of the car park with children getting wet through and traffic to consider, let alone the hassle of a pushchair for the baby and a trolley at the same time.
Then when you get back to the car you find that you can't open the door far enough to get the child back into its car seat.
Please be more considerate to the disabled and the parents with little children.
