Blue Badge holders v Bradford Council

it is the only way they can stop blue badge holders parking there which is why they have used them as they want no one parking there.

I’m not sure on the reasoning behind the bits on Midland Road but I totally get it behind the Kop as people have been parking on both sides of the road making the road so narrow traffic can only pass in one direction at a time that along with the section of Midland Road was causing an issue.

Badly parked fans have caused it on that part, as I say not sure about the other bit.

 

Are these parking restrictions on the closed part of Midland Road?

 

how did the cars get in there if the road is closed? Thought they only allowed those in with permission to park

 

do the stewards tell them where to park as well?

 

Easy targets Steve.

 

Loads parked outside of an unlicensed venue and parked illegally when I walked past after the game. Have had 'retrospective' planning turned down about 3 times but functions still continue?

 

Tricky one, but I do wonder if Bradford Council took into account the fact that they might end up ticketing a significant number of blue badge holders?

Arguably, it is the provision of parking for Blue Badge holders which is now inadequate because of various changes in those areas. I question if an Equality Impact Assessment was completed when the changes were brought in.

The council should look into this, with the club working with fans on it.

 

I received a ticket , I was later than normal so I parked on the left hand side .I thought the road was inactive so any parking restrictions would not apply .I feel that this was a targeted attack on the sick & disabled.

 

Do they have a lift in the midland rd stand to get the disabled supporters into the stand from the roadside.

 

Don't care, it's true.

 

Nah, leave it. To laugh at.

 

Looks like the council coffers will be swelled and parking warden attendants have gone a long way in reaching targets to justify their existence. It's the way of the world every day you see cars parked illegally and in most cases dangerously/obstructive Every day we see people speeding/driving dangerously and not get caught Like the innocent motorists who get convicted for driving 3 mph over the limit people parking (safely) at major events are "soft targets" ( cash generating opportunities)
It's a sad fact of life and indicative of today's society

 

This “I broke a law, but I didn’t break a law as bad as that person over there” act, is pathetic.

 

Indeed, there are lifts in the Midland Rd, Kop and main stands.

 

Here @SimonW, got any good stats and evidence suggesting whether the colour of your skin means your more predisposed to parking on double yellows or not?
