A driver in Gerrards Cross has been penalised for parking their car in a disabled bay.

In the late hours of Sunday, November 10, officers from Thames Valley Police noticed a blue BMW had been left in the space without a blue badge.

The incident occurred along Ethorpe Close in the market town Gerrards Cross.

The force on Facebook wrote: “Disabled parking bays are for blue badge holders only. A Fixed Penalty Notice was issued to this vehicle parked in #Ethorpe Close #Gerrards Cross for not displaying one.

Those who are caught leaving their cars in disabled spaces without issuing a blue badge will receive a fine between £70 to £100.

It will not impact the amount of points a driver will receive on their licence.
