Hospital anxiety complex.

Civil law is not about crime it is about resolving disputes. As I said above my aim is to avoid getting into that situation in the first place.

Nothing wrong with that as that is using common sense! Pity ANPR does not work that way on many car parks.

Not sure why you would need civil law as no crime has been committed? The ANPR does not work for BB holders as daughter found out when taking OH to visit a supermarket. A real hassle getting them to cancel the invoice and had to resort to threats. ANPR has numerous drawbacks when it comes to holders of a BB.

When I go into town I usually find on road parking. But a friend has just told me I can use the APNR car parks. He would use these by going to the office each time. But he has just received a sticker which affixes to his badge and he scans this each time.

I have just applied for one myself. It could be the same in your local authority.

I have no BB.
At the Gloucester Royal and Great Western Hospital Swindon , ironically it is easier to find an empty non BB space !

ANPR can work well for Blue Badge holders as long as you've pre-registered all car registrations that the holder might travel in - at least it works well in SE Staffordshire!

By coincedence we are visiting people in the south about 30mins drive from Bedford. We offered, yesterday, to collect some medication from Bedford Hospital as the multi-million pound NHS IT system can't send the prescription from the Hospital to the pharmacy which is a 5 minute walk away from where we're staying.

We drove to Bedford, which was like visiting another planet after life on Skye. Got within sight of the hospital and its car parkk but got in the wrong lane and had to go around the block. I'm sure we past the Great Wall of China but maybe it was just the all you can throw up chinese buffet.

On getting back to the hospital we queued in the road outside waiting to get in. Once actually in the car park it was still a queue as folks were waiting for someone to vacate a space. Mrs. V had already got out to go to the pharmacy dept. After about 15 mins someone came out of a space and I went in. In was in about 10cm of water but just clear where my door was.

As its Pay and Display I phoned Mrs. V to see what progress she'd made and was told it could be a 50min wait or more. So, I duly paid and displayed at £4 for 2 hours. Got out of the car to go and meet her and guess what - she was just coming out complete with medication. £4 for about 5 mins use of an actual parking space.

As we left I offered the ticket to the person eager to take my place - no reg number on it. For some reason they said no.

You should have contacted myself, I would have rented you a parking slot on my driveway 20 minutes away.
I went to Bedford hospital for a Blood test , paid the £4 for parking, only to be told it was at Bedford North, 20 minutes drive across the town.
Grrrrr
