SIR – Your columns suggest that public opinion is in support of the disabled motorist recently penalised for parking across the boundary line of a disabled parking space. Is this not because the public expects rules to be applied in a reasonable, sympathetic way and is not convinced that this case met these standards?
Is there any sign that councillors are making sure their officers are aware of the poor light in which this affair casts Worcester and are seeking ways to do things better next time?
Could we ask how many able-bodied motorists have been penalised recently for parking in disabled bays in the city?
MARK GLOSSOP,
Worcester.
