Move comes after individuals reported as utilising disabled spaces without authorisation
City of Hamilton CEO Dwayne Caines stated: “Creating a city that is accessible for all means holding the line on fairness. These parking bays are not optional guidelines—they are legal designations that exist to protect the rights and dignity of individuals with disabilities. We are especially concerned about reports of people misusing temporary permits or using someone else’s badge while the permit holder is not present. That is abuse, and it deprives those who genuinely need these spots. Our enforcement teams have been directed to take a stricter approach to violations going forward.”
