Disabled North London bricklayer 'can't park at post office' because McDonald's delivery drivers are always in his space
Posted: Friday, April 21st, 2023
A furious North Londoner says he can’t park at his local post office due to delivery drivers taking up all the space, MyLondon has reported. George Acka, a bricklayer from Barnet, says he often has trouble parking in a disabled bay as McDonald’s delivery drivers often get there first. Taking to Facebook he wrote: "Being disabled, I went to park at the post office on the high street but due to all the scooters from McDonald’s being parked there, I couldn’t park. They need to be told that the bays are for disabled people’. Howard Toshman thinks he knows why this is happening, and according to him it’s due to a legal technicality. He said: “The two spaces/bays immediately outside the Post Office in High Barnet are loading bays not really for mopeds - but the moped riders take advantage of the situation as it would be a grey area as to whether they are actually 'loading'." He added: “Ideally one of these loading bays should be made specifically a disabled bay to prevent any use by moped riders and give easy access to drivers with a disabled badge.” Mark Stammers said: “Why don't anyone tell them to move out the bays or complain to the businesses they work for.. I know I would.” And Lucy Colclough has seen it all before. She said: “The same happened to my nan she ended up getting a ticket parking on a double yellow even with a disabled badge! Bloody vile if you ask me.” Jo Elizabeth too has the same issue. She wrote: “It’s very very difficult to park in North Finchley, scooters everywhere. I also find if you park often when you come back one has parked in front of you leaving one inch to get out. I think there should be an area for scooters and not allow them to use up all the parking spaces.”
