The 'Emmerdale' actor - who plays Ryan Stocks on the ITV soap - has called for more "respect" to be shown to blue badge holders by those who park in spaces reserved for people with a disability when they don't possess one of the required permits.
James - who suffers from ataxic cerebral palsy - tweeted: "Please, please, PLEASE do not use blue badge spaces if you do not have a blue badge or disability! It doesn't matter if you're just 'popping in' - it's really inconsiderate and disrespectful. Please respect that some of us take longer to walk places - so parking closer helps! (sic)"
James' tweet attracted plenty of attraction with more than 2,200 likes, and he later admitted he really hopes the message goes viral to spread the message to others.
He wrote: "So glad this tweet is making the rounds, if one tweet of mine goes viral I hope it's this. It's a message that needs to be heard"
Earlier this year, James called for people not to "feel sorry" for him, insisting he is "happy" and hasn't had a hard life.
He tweeted: "Please don't feel sorry for me. I'm not struggling, I haven't had a hard life especially not for the past few years.I'm happy. Having a disability doesn't mean we're unhappy, or we need sympathy. (sic)"
In January, James scooped the Newcomer prize at the National Television Awards for his portrayal of Emmerdale's Ryan.
He added: "I'm independent, strong and confident and anyone who knows me knows this. Love ya (sic)"
