CONGRATULATIONS to the bright spark in Trafford's planning department (or maybe it was CMFT or the developer, or maybe even all of them? ) who decided that the new hospital in Altrincham could operate without the benefit of even a single Blue Badge parking space.

I appreciate there is ample public parking at The Regent Road car park and the Denmark Street multi-storey and, dare I say it, Sainsbury's. But to a patient with impaired mobility, none of these is an adequate solution.

So come on our newly elected Trafford council, how about some action on this issue ?
