This is a truly shocking case which exposes the flaws in the current Blue Badge system and highlights the plight of families on the receiving end of a "computer says no" approach to disabled parking permits.

[Elli Hodgson @journalistelli]

Today on KentOnline I tell the story of one family's fight to obtain a Blue Badge for their two-year-old son, who has a rare condition which affects his mobility.

From the beginning, I’ve been questioning whether it is fair to fine people who have proof they’ve already paid for parking, and I’ve spoken to dozens of people who claim problems with the ticket machines are behind the hundreds of keying errors.

Persistence pays off. After 18 months and countless stories covering problem at Kent’s country parks, I am delighted to see the county council is taking some action.

Hi all! I’m keen to know what everyone’s reaction is to the water being back on for now in Tunbridge Wells? What would you like to happen next? Do you have faith it won’t happen again? What questions do you have for South East Water?
