Town doubles its disabled spaces
April 25, 2007 12:00 AM
Cheltenham has doubled the number of off-street disabled parking bays in its car parks to 55. Blue badge holders can park all day free of charge in any council off-street car park as long as their badge is displayed.
Parking manager Jason Benjamin said: "Last year we set ourselves a target to have designated disabled parking bays in every council off street car park. "We are pleased to say that we have now met this target for our customers."
Hilary James, chair of the Cheltenham Disability Forum, said: "The Cheltenham Disability Forum would like to thank the council for taking the new Disability Discrimination Act 2005 seriously and designating 55 new off-street car parking bays. It will encourage many disabled residents and visitors to come to Cheltenham and make their visit more enjoyable and a lot easier."
