Camberwell Morrison's car park now charging blue badge holders to park


Recommended Posts

The car park of Morrison's in Camberwell Green are now charging blue badge holders to use their car park. Is this a fair practice, or completely wrong, as registered disabled drivers often have low income, and need the us of their vehicle???

Not sure about that Trinidad and hope you can sort it out re the disabled blue badge. I've always shopped at Morrisons (parked, walked, bus) and all the other shops in Butterfly Walk for years but the other day found out the car park is due for some kind of makeover!


Morrisons don't own the car park so whoever does is free to do what they want.

The article says "The contractor has however agreed to arrange for the system to be reprogrammed so that any car with a disabled badge registered against it will not need to pay a ticket.".


Do blue badges routinely have a car registration number linked to them? The Southwark online application page doesn't say that information is needed. In fact one page say "The badge can be used in any car the badge holder is driving or is a passenger in.". Is there even any facility anywhere for connecting a blue badge with car registration(s)?

You can register a car with a blue badge, this is generally done to enable a car to park in a specific bay without the badge (normally the bay outside a blue badge holders house as cars are frequently broken in to to steal the blue badge).


That being said, not many people do this and it obviously doesn't help those who don't have their own car but have a badge and friends or carers that help them.


As far as I'm aware, there is no obligation for a car park owner to make blue badge parking free, rather provide the spaces in accessible locations. Of course in practise it is common for them to be free.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
