A consultation carried out by Monaghan County Council with local communities highlighted the ongoing problem of people parking in disabled parking bays illegally. This causes a lot of problems for people who need those spaces.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-782\" src=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/02\/Latch-Group-award-photo-300x175.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/02\/Latch-Group-award-photo-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/02\/Latch-Group-award-photo-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/02\/Latch-Group-award-photo-648x377.jpg 648w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/02\/Latch-Group-award-photo-330x192.jpg 330w, https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2018\/02\/Latch-Group-award-photo.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The slogan \u201cA Minute Matters\u201d was chosen because many people think it\u2019s ok to park in disabled parking bays for \u201ca minute\u201d but what this project is saying is \u201cA Minute Matters\u201d to someone who needs that space!<\/p>\n<p>The project was a huge success, with had great support from the local Gardai and Traffic wardens who greatly welcomed the initiative. The Gardai and traffic wardens have zero tolerance for people abusing disabled parking bays and anyone parking in a designated disabled parking.<\/p>\n<p>Monaghan town has almost 1200 parking spaces and 43 disabled parking bays, so it is really important to badge holders that the spaces are available to them when they need them.<\/p>\n<p>So as the video says, \u201c If you don\u2019t have a badge PARK SOMEWHERE ELSE\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos include LAMA Awards last weekend and the members of the Latch on group who starred in and recorded the Minute Matters youtube video<\/p>\n<p>Check out the video on YouTube \u201cA MINUTE MATTERS\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.21%;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; left: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ann6kR8r7hQ?ecver=2\" width=\"641\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Monaghancoco\/videos\/1923261534568302\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monaghan County Council were absolutely delighted with the success of the \u201cA MINUTE MATTERS\u201d campaign which won the Best Disability Access &amp; Inclusion Initiative at the Local Authority Members Association [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
