Frustration over misuse of 'lifeline' disabled parking bay outside Nottinghamshire school

A mum who just wants to make sure her son gets to school safely has called out other parents who use the parking bay dedicated for disabled people. Amy Ali, 40, said there have been "numerous times" when parents without a blue badge have used the parking bay located just outside Jesse Gray Primary school's entrance, on Musters Road in West Bridgford.

Ms Ali, along with Kerrie Van Ristell whose daughter is also disabled, thought the parking space would be the answer to their children's difficulties of accessing the school safely. But sadly this has not been the case according to the mothers, who pushed for the parking bay to be introduced in September last year.

A huge disabled parking sign is painted on the road marking the spot. At least twice a month however, the mothers say they drive down to the designated parking bay on Musters Road just to find it taken by somebody else who "may or may not have a blue badge".
