Your support of this candidate and loyalty is to be applauded....chauvinism is not dead.
The point is that the FREE parking is only provided for States Members in those allocated spaces.
Do you feel that we should all park in these designated spaces or just the select few and their favoured friends, to take advantage of the FREE parking.
Sounds like abuse of privilege if someone is using a position that is not entitled to them, and that was taken away from a group of people who needed those spaces most. Morallity comes into question here.
And using an excuse that more disabled driving spaces have been provided on the streets since then is a very thin argument, when you see the widespread abuse of disabled parking bays in St. Helier by people who use them "just for a few minutes"
, is the argument when you point out to them that they are not allowed to park there without a blue badge.
An abuse of privilege can only exist when someone has a privilege to abuse? Ms Hase isnt a States Member yet so there is no privilege there, she is another member of public. I have yet to see any other of your posts on here naming various members of the public who park in disabled places why is that?
Jaws, i understand the Disabled parking space issue has always been there and always will until a foolproof idea can be used to stop the abuse, for a start you could look at the provisioning of the badges, why do people have them who clearly don't need them? i have seen lots of people roll up in a
expensive car with a blue badge , park in the spots and jog off down the street? nothing to dibilitating there it would seem?
So i would put it to you that your arguement, about a member of the public who just happens to be standing for election for Deputy, parking on a states members bay that used to be a disability bay?? is somewhat paper thin?
If its a question of peoples morals parking on the bays then i wholeheartedly agree its wrong but to use this as an example to belittle a candidate for deputy is some what off?
By all means wait till thursday morning then approach the new deputy and ask them as there first act to look in to the abuse of the disabled bays that would, i am sure that would help a whole lot more?
Alternately you could ask Simon Crowcroft how he parks his Mercedes outside the Town Hall for free all day long, and usually on the Unloading bays?
