Disabled parking / Blue Badge fraud

The Blue Badge scheme helps disabled people with severe mobility problems to access goods and services by allowing them to park close to their destination. A Blue Badge is the property of the issuing authority.

It is a criminal offence to display:

• an out of date Blue Badge
• a family or friend’s Blue Badge without the badge holder being present
• a stolen Blue Badge
• a forged or counterfeit Blue Badge
• a deceased person’s Blue Badge.

Blue Badge misuse is a criminal offence which can lead to:

• a £1,000 fine
• a criminal record, and
• the badge being withdrawn.
