REDDITCH councillors want to stop illegal parking outside the town's library which is intended for invalid cars only.
They say drivers are pretending to be invalids to gain free and easy parking near the town centre.
"Able-bodied motorists are stopping on the invalid parks with disabled stickers in their cars," said Councillor Paul Dyson.
"The system which allows free and easy parking for disabled drivers is being abused and disused and must be stopped," he added.
