A disabled mum claims she’s been targeted with poison pen letters attacking her for using a communal parking space - which OAPs in the neighbourhood ‘demand priority because they’re old’. Wendy Robinson, who has cerebral palsy and arthritis, found a handwritten note on her windscreen calling her a ‘crap driver’ which left her feeling ‘disgusted’.
She was criticised for not parking with ‘consideration’ in the letter and was told to give up her driving licence, even though she had parked within the bay and was not blocking any access. Wendy says the man who wrote the note came out of his home and demanded she give him priority and other pensioners ‘because they’re old’.
According to Wendy, who uses crutches and can’t walk more than 20 metres unaided, it’s the third letter she’s received ordering her to move her care from the unreserved space. The 57-year-old claims that five ‘angry’ pensioners regularly berate her for her parking.
