im still waiting to hear back from the local council but the messages you guys are leaving here are keeping me going. its honestly wild how many families are hitting these same walls because of rules that dont seem to account for kids like mia.

i cant believe we just hit 100 signatures today. it feels so good knowing that other people see how broken these rules are for kids like mia.

This is ludicrous. Please sort this out. Where is the common sense. How hard is to issue a tempory blue badge to parents of children in a spica cast, regardless of age?????
I have a daughter Alacey that was diagnosed when she was 16 month old with cdh.she is now nearly 13 years old and still struggles wking after many operations even tho she now has a hip socket, however she struggles getting in and out of cars and needs the door to be wide open as she uses this as support and also myself.i do have a blue badge now as she is thirteen however when she was 18 month old and was in a hip spica I struggled to get her In a car in a normal parking bay and I often csught her toes even walkining through shop doors. Eventually I didn't even bother taking her out as getting her in the car was too difficult.
My son was in a spica for 6 months and it was a nightmare trying to find spaces. People just don't get how wide that cast is. Should be automatic for any child in a cast.
TOTAL MADNESS. Council need to get a grip and update these rules. You cannot fit a car seat with a spica cast into a normal bay. Period.
Been there and it is so stressful. Had to carry my little one across car parks with no space for the door to open wide enough. These rules are so outdated its not funny.

Absolutely ridiculous and obviously the councils haven't bothered/looked at how difficult this is to deal with, let alone trying to get in and out of cars in car parks and walking long distances with a child in such bulky equipment.
