Counillor Maureen Dodds Oakham Town Councillors Abuse of Blue Badge Scheme

Oakham Town Councillors Abuse of Blue Badge Scheme 

Before a recent incident at the Co-op Superstore in Oakham, I had no issue with Cllr Maureen Dodds. 

I was the first to suggest and contribute towards a gift when she had her accident last year.

This Councillor has a disabled parking badge. 

Why?

She is certainly not disabled.

She has no problem pushing a filled trolley frequently around the superstore.

At her request my friend inspected her trolley and noticed it was full of junk.
I question why so many over weight people can claim a blue badge to park anywhere at the expense of truly disabled people.
