My husband is a recent amputee, soon to be released (sorry, discharged) from hospital. We are a bit new to all the problems associated with wheelchairs.
Anyone know where I can get one of those car stickers that asks people not to park near the car so that we can get my husband's wheelchair close to the car door?
Also, where do we get a RADAR key?
Thanks
Froggy

Wed 17 Jun 2009 20:57We got our Radar key from our Local Borough Council, and the sticker from the local disability aids shop. You can also buy both on Ebay. Don't expect the sticker to make any difference - nobody takes a blind bit of notice of them. Using disabled bays is the best way round that problem. If there are none available I get my hubby out of the car and then park. Its a pain but needs must.

That was lucky for you. We were informed that we had to go to Radar to get one.
Froggy, here is the web address
www.radar.org.ukClick on Radar shop and you will get the details

Thanks anyway.

Thu 18 Jun 2009 08:06Corby Borough Council did in in 2004 when I went in and got it myself, I was signposted to them from Wheelchair Services - so well worth asking - I'm sure they are not the only one.

Thu 18 Jun 2009 08:11You're lucky if you've got a decent council, ours is rated one of the worst in the country, especially relating to disabled services.
