ACT Parking Operations number

23 February 2010 | By Whitey

Can anyone please tell me a phone number to get ACT Parking Operations to come and book people in handicapped zones?
There are a number of regular flouters of the zones who need to learn a lesson.
thanks

I don’t CARE if it was a doctor’s car. My point was that I could forsee a proportion of general punters not giving a $hit about the needs of people with mobility difficulties, but would be quite disgusted if it was a doctor who’d chosen to ignore the parking restrictions in the name of a spot in the shade and quicker walk to the lifts.

I so hope that it wasn’t a doctor’s car, just a visitor with more $$$ than manners.

Who cares if it was a doctors car or not… They have allocated parking for medical practitioners. Disabled car parks should be for disabled people only.

Very true, but posting here and trying to start a fight is more fun it would seem….

Spot on Wraith. And when that didn’t work straight away, personal insult is the next step.

spinact – you obviously have the same iq as those that are illegally parking in the handicapped spots, insulting you wouldn’t be worth the time.

…how about YOU Google “why am I such a douche”

“Douche” frustrates me as one of those irritating words which is creeping into regular usage from American influence. I wonder how many of the kids of today use it as an insult before googling to see what it means? And why do Americans like squirting water places so much anyway?

Agreed. I hate that crap American insult.

Why do people have to concern themselves with other peoples problems?

If a driver wishing to use the parking spot legally has an issue because of an illegally parked car and reports it then good on them and I support them. But if it is just a couple of bored office workers finding the next crusade….get over yourselves and get back to work!!!

I called Parking Operations via Canberra Connect a few weeks ago regarding a car without a permit in the disabled carparking area at TCH. Not just any car without a permit, but a lovely silver Mercedes 350SLK.

Something that looks like this does somewhat draw the eye, and curiosity got the better of us as to whether a person with a disabled parking permit did indeed drive or travel in a car worth about $120k, which you have to concertina yourself into and which has minimal space in which to store a wheelchair or walker or crutches even.

No permit in sight, hence the call to Parking Ops. TCH Security polices parking on the hospital grounds, so a quick trip upstairs to reception led to one of the security officers going to get his ticket book and head downstairs.

I so hope that it wasn’t a doctor’s car, just a visitor with more $$$ than manners.
