If its the wide spaces that are needed for parent and child spaces they should be put further away from the enterance, on say a side wall. There would not be a problem then as the would not be coveted by people without children as they are not right beside the door.
This would seem to solve the problem.
Only disabled spaces should be at the door and shame on anyone who takes one when they are able bodied
I totally agree with this. It might be a bit awkward to keep an eye on a toddler while walking across the car park but most of us have done this without any great trauma. I think it is a lot more awkward for elderly people with heart problems, arthritis or who are just generally not very strong to cart bags of shopping off to the far distance of the car park so that thirty somethings have the convenience of a space by the door. Extra wide spaces certainly, but why can't they be in the general area of the car park with a trolley bay located near by.
