Disability Parking

Hi
Can anyone assist - I am DISABLED with a spinal condition and have difficulty walking any distance and I am in constant pain. I have asked my employer to provide me with parking. But a) they are legally obliged to according to their Health and Welfare team and b) as they rent the office space as a business they do not have any disabled parking spaces allocated. I am not in a position to use our local council parking as they are too far from work.
Can anyone advise where I stand (no pun intended)
Thanks in advance

It might threaten your employment if you were to "go legal" on them to force them to comply.
If you are in a Union you could speak to them or if not ACAS.
Never be afraid to assert your legal rights as dismissing because you have done so is unfair and any business doing so to a disabled person would not enjoy the possible publicity.
