Diasbled driver abuse issue to be raised by MHK

The Minister of Infrastructure is set to be asked if there's been an increase in abuse directed at people using disabled parking bays.

In the House of Keys, Douglas North MHK David Ashford will also ask Tim Crookall what plans there are to address this.

It comes after a number of residents recently took to social media, calling for legislation to protect disabled drivers parking in disabled bays.

An anonymous poster revealed they often have to defend their right to park there as their disability may not be obvious, and are sometimes met with abuse.

The House of Keys sitting will take place on Tuesday morning.
