Disabled mum ordered by OAPs to give them ‘priority for being old’

A disabled mum claims she’s been targeted with poison pen letters attacking her for using a communal parking space - which OAPs in the neighbourhood ‘demand priority because they’re old’. Wendy Robinson, who has cerebral palsy and arthritis, found a handwritten note on her windscreen calling her a ‘crap driver’ which left her feeling ‘disgusted’.

Wendy says the man who wrote the note came out of his home and demanded she give him priority and other pensioners ‘because they’re old’.

"There's five that have told me I'm not allowed to park there and I've got to give priority to them because they're old. They like to think it's private but it's not, anyone can park there, there
