Army Hero Who Lost a Leg in Afghanistan Denied a Disabled Parking Permit by Council Bosses 'Because He Might Get Better'


A hero soldier who lost a leg in Afghanistan has been denied a disabled parking badge three times by council bosses.

Lance Corporal Johno Lee has clocked up £800 in fines for parking in disabled bays in his home town of Newark, Nottinghamshire, on days when he uses a wheelchair or feels unable to walk very far.

When he first applied to Nottinghamshire County Council for a blue badge, he was advised he was young and 'may get better'.

  1. Right, it is stories like this that really make me so fed up with the UK.

    A man joins the army in good faith to fight a fake war, comes back home without a leg which is replaced by a prosthetic leg and he is denied a disabled badge. If this prosthetic leg is not an indication of being disabled, I really don't know what is.....In the meantime, people who are NOT disabled physically in any shape or form are busy parking in disabled bays and walking around with no health problems at all and MISUSING disabled badges.....This place really can be a big JOKE at times.

    These soldiers risk LIFE and LIMB and they can't even get a measly disabled badge, this stuff is just SHOCKING.

    Some of these idiots sit in their office and make the most STUPID decisions that affects people's lives. I'm not even sure anymore if they are actually human, because they don't behave like it.
