Today I received a fine from Gemini Parking Solutions – apparently, I did not correctly input my vehicle registration when attending the leisure centre for swimming lessons for my three year old.
I am
annoyed, of course, but I am also angry, because to me this is another
attack on carers, and on the elderly
I wonder
how many tickets are issued because other moms, on little sleep, are rushing
their small children into swim lessons or infant classes?
How many OAP
forget to enter their registrations on the way to the gym?
How many middle
class men are using the leisure centre? From
my view, the men with the most to spend on extortionate parking are already
spending it on extortionate gyms.
I’m angry,
but unsure where to go on it. Perhaps
Gemini Parking can show they distribute tickets equally based on gender and age…
but I doubt it. This is another way in
which companies profit off carers – a community centre aimed at doing good for
the community is now financially penalizing those that need the most help.
Gemini
Parking Solutions are intentionally targeting parents and the elderly – individuals who
are at the most risk of mistake, and with the least spare income available.
I can and
will fight the ticket, but many people won’t have the headspace to do so, and
we should all be angry on their behalf.
