Do you approach every occupied vehicle in a disabled space and ask the driver if they are able bodied and waiting for their disabled wife?

Reesh2052 Â Â 10 #20 Posted May 25, 2017 I believe if the badge is used illegally then the Badge Holder and fraudulent user should both get the maximum fine available and the badge withdrawn for good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That means they are preventing a disabled person who might need the space from using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Berberis   10 #24 Posted May 25, 2017 Good news for genuine blue badge users. Sheffield Council are now enforcing against wrongful use of blue badges. See: http://www.sheffieldnewsroom.co.uk/seventeen-prosecuted-for-wrongful-use-of-blue-badge/  Thats good news having experienced people abusing this service, its long over due. The council need to have a way to report people via their website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
