Blue Badge Enforcement 

The Blue Badge scheme is a national initiative to help disabled people to park close to their destination, either as a passenger or driver.

It is an offence under section 117 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 for a Blue

Badge to be misused by a non-disabled person, with a maximum fine on conviction of £1,000.

A court prosecution can affect employment, job prospects, travel visa applications, insurance, etc. 

Legal action may also be taken in circumstances where false information has been provided to acquire a Blue Badge.

Fraudulent use of Blue Badges prevents people in genuine need from accessing on-street parking where they need it most.

The badge is for the sole use of the person named on it. It must only be displayed if the badge holder is travelling in the vehicle as a driver or passenger, or if someone is collecting them or dropping them off. 

The badge may not be used by other people to do something on the badge holder’s behalf, such as shopping or collecting something for them, unless the badge holder is travelling with them.

It is the badge holders responsibility to make sure their badge is not misused and entitlement can be withdrawn at any time. 

Please refer to the booklet you received alongside your badge for better understanding the terms of use before using it for parking.

The purpose of this warning is educational awareness to change driver behavior and prevent further offending.
