Entitlement Wars!

A Blue Badge owner has accused Dartford Heath Retail Park of discrimination after...

Oh boy! *settles in with popcorn*

...the disabled parking spaces in its car park were repainted.

Eh? To a colour that upset the colourblind?

Helen Staniforth, 49, drove to Dunelm at the park on Monday afternoon to do some shopping.

When she arrived, she realised the disabled spaces, which are closer to the shop for easy access, had been changed to also cater for parents and children.

Ah! Now I see the problem.

"It's discrimination against disabled people," she told News Shopper.

The mother-of-three added: "I understand you do need spaces for mothers and babies because you need more space to take the car seat out."

But she said there was "no point" in having disabled bays at all if they were dual-use.

Yes, it's 'My needs are greater than yours!' again.

News Shopper contacted London Metric for an explanation as to why the bays had been changed.

A spokesman for the company said: "It is our intention to reinstate a minimum of two of the bays for disabled use only.

"Thereafter, we will monitor usage and feedback.

"We understand the importance of accessibility for all and apologise for parking problems that this has caused in the meantime."

There you go! I now eagerly await the mums with pushchairs registering their disapproval.
