Three times so far in 2025 I've come across Blue Badge bays being made unusable by building works. These are places I go regularly (twice at work and once at my local leisure centre) and that could definitely have sent out info about this in advance, but clearly disabled people aren't a priority 1/4
A parking garage with accessible parking bays covered up with a fance with building materials being store on them. A leisure centre covered in scaffolding and fence with a building vehicle behidn the fence
