NAME AND SHAME
Submitted by: Rachel Stelmach
Describe your idea. How does it work and who does it help?
If you see someone parking in disabled parking spaces without displaying blue badges, you can note the numberplate of the car and/or take a picture and the location and upload info to the site. The site will overlay this data onto maps a create league tables of worst locations in terms of offenders and location, then relay information to people who can do something about it, eg. supermarkets and businesses as well as parking wardens etc. Prizes could be given to people who post the most offenders. Multiple offenders could be sent a warning letter.
The idea would be to create a culture whereby using disabled parking spaces illegally would be regarded as shameful and embarrassing and something that everyone should be involved in pointing out, not just disabled people.
What information or services do you need?
Maps of car parks and where disabled parking allowed. Data from DVLA.

Hi,
Did anything happen about this?
I'd like to do something similar. I have done some intiall research and it looks like £1,500 would set such a site up and keep it running for the first year..
Cheers,
Chris
