I really don’t think we should have had to have posted publicly to respond, however given the amount of messages we are receiving I have copied and pasted my response on the original post :
To address all the lovely comments, as the owner of the company, I’ve been sent this a few times this morning. The person driving the vehicle had someone who requires a wheelchair in the car and did the best they could in the situation. Please be mindful that at this time of the year we sometimes have some very anxious people that we are transporting around and just need to get things done to make it easier for the people we are supporting. The staff driving did have a permit on board, however there were no parks. To address the ‘second driver’ comment, we really do wish everyone’s funding covered this- it doesn’t. Perhaps the community just needs to be more accepting that things sometimes need to be altered to support someone with a disability. I’ll also comment that we have had several staff pull up at entrances and as quickly as possible drop off and find a park, to be beeped the crap out of by other impatient drivers. So really, there’s no ‘winning’ with any solution.
