HC Deb 09 December 1969 vol 793 cc52-3W
48. Mr. Brian Parkyn

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the white lines which reserve parking spaces for disabled drivers in Bedford at Mill Street, Allhallows, and Lime Street are to go; and whether he will approve proposals to retain them.

Mr. Bob Brown

The Bedford Borough Council is, at the Department's request, removing these unauthorised markings and instead is permitting disabled drivers holding the yellow car badge to leave their vehicles for an unlimited time in those places where waiting is now limited. This will enable such drivers to receive concessions over a much wider area than at present.
