| For the
disabled and those who have severe walking problems, parking at shopping
centres etc., can be a very big problem. That is of course if you
don't have a "Blue Badge" that allows you to park free of charge.
Always read the parking notices to ensure the correct tariff for Blue
Badge holders, because some councils and car parking companies do
charge. The rules and regulations for those who are entitled to
the badges have changed as of January 2012 and you can find out all that
you need to know either by looking up your local council website or by
going to the websites listed below.
Forms are available from
You used to get reminding
letters when your blue badge was about to need replacing but that is no
longer the case. You now have to make sure yourself when your Blue Badge
about to expire and apply for a replacement. More information is
available on the application form. |
