Disabled people have been left unable to visit a community leisure centre due to parents parking illegally in Blue Badge spaces during the school run.
Residents have complained to Ponteland Leisure Centre about the 'large number' of cars parking without Blue Badge passes in designated disabled bays during school pick-up and drop-off times.
The Leisure Centre is less than one mile from Ponteland Primary School and Ponteland High School, and located on the same council owned site on Callerton Lane.
