I do not understand why Sarah Launchbury should be surprised at being wheel-clamped for parking in a bay specifically provided for people with disabled badges, especially as she clearly states in her letter there were a number of regular parking bays available.

Why didn't she park in one of those?

I hope in the future she will have no need of a badge herself.

She would then realise how important it is for these bays to be left for those who really need them.

I should know because my husband, who died of cancer recently, was a badge-holder and there were many times we could not park due to the selfishness of people parking in the bays.
