Blue Badge Holder Information

If you are a Blue Badge holder you must be aware of the following:

Traffic wardens, parking attendants, police officers and civil enforcement officers ~ all have the power to inspect your Badge.
If any of these people ask to have a look at your Badge, you must allow them to see it. If you refuse to do so, you could be fined for breaking the law.
You can ask for identification and they should produce an identity card, with a photograph of themselves on it, which proves their identity.

If your Badge has expired, do not use it. An application for a new Badge should be done some weeks before the expiration date.

You must return the Badge to your local authority if it has expired or if your mobility or medical condition improves and you are no longer eligible. If a replacement Badge has been issued to you to replace one that has either been stolen or lost, and the original is recovered, then the original Badge should be returned.
You should also return the Badge if it becomes faded or damaged in any way so that it is no longer legible
If you continue to use the Badge when it is no longer needed you risk being fined.
Having a Badge does not mean that you are exempt from a road tax licence but if you meet certain criteria, you may be exempt.
You need to display the blue parking clock to show your arrival time if you park on yellow lines or any other place where there is a restriction on time. This clock will have been sent to you along with the Badge. If not, you can get one from the same local authority.
The Badge should be returned to the local authority on the demise of the badge holder.
