"I think it’s possible to take a small part of the park to provide one blue badge space. That way people with disabilities who want to avail of the Linear Park amenity but need to get there car, could park at it," she added.
"Blue badge parking enables access to the community and I’d like to see this provided in a way that doesn’t impact negatively on residents."
