As usual, there were no parent/baby spaces left.

It is apparently Tesco policy to leave a note on cars inappropriately using bays dedicated to disabled drivers, asking them to be more considerate and park elsewhere.

Today, while at Durrington Tesco, a car with a blue badge and no child seats was parked in the bays dedicated to parent/baby.

Was there a note on this car?

No... just like all of the other cars which use parent bays inappropriately, and not just in Tesco.

For those of us who genuinely use parent spaces they will know what I mean when I say it is totally frustrating to find cars parked there who do not have small children.

This includes parents who do not have their children with them.

I am fed up with struggling to get my three children out of my car in a small space because a sports car or "expensive" car doesn't want to use a normal space for fear of dents.

Retailers have recognised a need for parent bays and we should be able to use them, the same as the disabled drivers should be able to use their bays.

So please, be considerate to all drivers who need to use a larger space.

And if you don't want your car to get damaged in a car park – go somewhere else.
