In Newcastle Co Down i was parked in a parking bay,i have a disabled badge displayed and because i was just outside the parking bay by a couple of inch,s i had a parking fine if payed within 14 days £30 otherwise 50 or 60 not sure now which,anyway i wrote them a letter explaining my partner was on crutches and needed extra room to get out of my car,they accepted this but said if it happens again i would have to pay.
parking bays in Newcastle are the smallest i have seen in Kilkeel bays are longer and wider
