When we talk about Baywatch and what a positive impact it has had, we are not referring to the 1989 show featuring David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson. What we are referring to is the successful and determined effort of various organizations to stamp out the abuse and misuse of disabled parking bays through the Batwatch Campaign.

The Baywatch Campaign NI initiative, which is led by IMTAC, seeks to end the abuse of parking bays provided for disabled people. The Campaign does this by challenging the attitudes of other members of the public through high profile events.

The Director of Shopmobility Belfast, Ann Collins
said:

“Disabled bays are so important to someone with a disability.
If you can not get out of your car you might as well be sitting in a prison.”

What can be done to punish BLUE BADGE ABUSERS?

The Director of Shopmobility Belfast, Ann Collins believes outlets like shopping centres, etc should have more attendants on site to ensure the bays are being used properly. In addition each of us should admonish all blue badge abuser whenever we see them.
