David Luck, who saw him, said: “I have friends and family who are genuinely disabled.

“I found it shocking. You wouldn’t expect this sort of behaviour from someone in a position of such social responsibility.”

Mr Bettison, leader of Bracknell Forest Council, apologised and said he had trouble walking far.

He added: “I am in the process of applying for a Blue Badge.”
