A disabled Edinburgh woman who had her car broken into says she no longer feels safe in her community.
Diane Blackwood says her neighbour alerted her to the incident on Tuesday night, telling her the car which was parked on Caledonian Crescent had its windows smashed. Diane, who is disabled and needs her car to get around, says she now feels ‘stuck’.
She discovered the thief had taken her blue badge - a crime which increased sixfold in the UK in the past few years. Thieves sell on the parking permit, which is then misused by those who don’t need it.
