I AM a father of three young children and I am also appalled at the selfish attitude of drivers, without children, who park in the parent and child wider spaces in Booths supermarket car park.

The problem is, like it or not, the normal car spaces are not wide enough to gain sufficient access to the rear doors of a car to strap a young child or baby into their car seat.

If you either take up two spaces or use a disabled bay you commit offences, so what do you do?

I have previous experience of returning to my car and not being able to get my children into the vehicle without great difficulty. If that's not a disability, what is? What amazes me is that most of the so-called disabled people, who park in the parent and child spaces, because they are located close to the door and they cannot walk very far, then enter the store and walk around inside, doing their shopping, without any problem.

Where is the sense in that?

Roz Jackson who commented in last week's Knutsford Guardian should reflect on her selfish, arrogant attitude and read things properly, as the previous letters from parents were directed towards both disabled and able-bodied people who park in the parent and child spaces without young children.

She has completely lost the plot as has the teacher who also responded.

All parents are asking for is to be able to use their allocated wider spaces to enable them to get their small children and babies in and out of their car seats without difficulty and not entering into a childish argument over who has the greater disability.

My suggestion to Booths supermarket is that the parent and child spaces should be relocated further from the entrance because this would solve the problem by taking away the temptation of selfish, irresponsible disabled and able-bodied people, without young children, parking in them.
