Action needed against drivers using disabled parking spaces

One wonders at the seeming difficulties experienced by local councils and the Scottish Government in preventing fraud and protecting the rights of disabled drivers ("Plan to target parking fraud", The Herald, January 23).

It would seem the fraud issue is being addressed through Dennis Robertson's proposed Bill, and it is hoped Holyrood takes his proposal on board.

While the cancellation of the 4500 blue badges still registered to those who are deceased, preventing them from being used fraudulently, will release parking spaces, what about taking action against able-bodied drivers who use disabled spaces?
