With these changes, disabled parking provision across the town centre is available at the following locations:

"15 minutes’ free parking for short stays" is useless!!! It takes more than 15 minutes to find a parking space, get my daughters' wheelchair out of her WAV, get her wheelchair back into her WAV again, and leave the car park. There wouldn't actually be time to go anywhere. Pointless!!!
