Car parking explanation

Sir, - May I defend myself against Dr Windsor’s comments of April 20?

The reason I am able to leave my car in Dundee city centre and seek out a taxi is that I carry a powered wheelchair in the back of my car and unload it using ramps, and seek out a wheelchair-accessible cab.

I too, have to be careful in selecting my space so that I have ramp access. Those pictured, in South Street , Perth, are useless to me.

I park in the centre of Dundee not to avoid the charge at Ninewells, but to avoid the Ninewells parking attendants, as opposed to those at City Quay. I do not find Ninewells disabled friendly.

The reason I am able to afford taxi fares is because I get a war pensioner’s mobility supplement which is paid to help me get about.

I would quite willingly use this to pay standard parking charges, as I would have to in my own country.

I would even more willingly park and walk if I could get rid of my disability and its associated war pension and mobility supplement. Laurie Richards. 100 Crail Road, Cellardyke.
