Mobility Parking
Hi Neighbours
I am concerned about the number of people who park in designated mobility parking spaces (marked with a wheelchair on the space and/or a sign). As a Carer for my mum I take her out and about every now and then not just appointments, however it becomes difficult when people park in these spaces without the tag in their car.
Recently, I took my mum to an appointment however we couldn't park in the alloted space because a young mum with a baby had parked there. When I approached her she said she was allowed to park there because she had a baby and abused me somewhat. There is a difference between a wheelchair and baby carriage.
Just a note to please be mindful of the people in our community who, for whatever reason, required these spaces kept clear for them.
We pay for the privilege of being able to use these spaces. Please be mindful of people who really need them.
Thank you
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
