A mother writes in about car parking spaces

A mother has written in with a plea for motorists not to occupy spaces for 'Parent & Child' - usually found at supermarkets.    The mother writes that often the spaces are taken by the over 60 age group and states that is often difficult to handle a push chair or pram in addition to a child or two.
The 'Parent & Child' spaces allow extra space for car doors to be opened wider.  A little thought for mothers would be greatly appreciated.

Additional Comment

 Another reader has mentioned his annoyance about fit and healthy people using disabled car spaces - often with disabled cards belonging to an elderly relative who is not with them.  And there are those who should know better - see item on right. 

More care and consideration should be given to those in need.  Yet another reader adds that those responsible will be old and needy themselves one day!
