There should be daytime set hours for the restriction to apply, just as there are for daytime parking in town.

I agree with mother and child for the reason you state Margaret, but not for disabled parking

I was once babysitting my grandaughter and she became quite ill.so I started the car to warm it up,Carried her to the car and bedded her in.
Drove to Asda Chemist to get her some medication I arrived shortly after after 9-00 to find there was no parking space for either disabled or parent and child.

I was totally distraught _ what can I do.I thought Ah common sense will prevail.

I finally got her into the chemists only to find the entrance filled with people using the cash point machines

Don't think anyone could disagree with that , pity all the bright young 30/40 yr old 'technocrats' who dream up these rules don't have the same common sense

I doubt that you'd find a parking attendant out at 9pm anyway.
