Tory in new disabled bay row

A driver was forced to walk 200 yards on crutches after a senior councillor parked his car in a space reserved for the disabled for the second time in a week.
Furious Blue Badge holder Joe Dorrian contacted the Medway Messenger after we revealed that three senior Medway Tory councillors had parked in disabled bays at the council’s Gun Wharf headquarters in Chatham.
One of them was Cllr Tom Mason, the portfolio holder responsible for Medway’s disabled.
Cllr Mason, pictured, said it was raining and the council offices were closed, insisting it was the first time he had parked there.
But, just five days earlier, Cllr Mason had parked his red Jaguar in the same disabled bay at 10am on a working day, blocking a space Mr Dorrian would have used to save him a long walk.

And Mr Dorrian has the photographic evidence.

Cllr Mason has apologised but is now facing calls for his resignation.
