Make Parent & Baby bays enforceable with fines and official badges.

Background

Give Parent & Baby bays the same legal standing as disabled bays. Allow fines for misuse and introduce official badges issued by midwives or GPs to verify eligibility. Include parents, heavily pregnant women and elderly who may not yet qualify as disabled.

Additional details

Parent & Baby bays are essential for safe parking and unloading children. Misuse by those without children creates hazards, stress, and can prevent parents shopping safely. A verified badge and legal protection will ensure the bays are used correctly, keeping parents, heavily pregnant women, and elderly safe and able to shop with dignity.
