Answer: Please contact the Council on 823714. If you are reporting misuse when it is happening: • It would be helpful for Parking Services to have the registration number, location & blue badge number (if possible). • This information could be passed to the CEO on this route (or Area Supervisor) and if practical a visit made to location. • Should the individual be witnessed returning to the vehicle, the CEO can request to inspect the blue badge shown. • If the blue badge holder is not present whilst it is being used, a Penalty Charge Notice can be issued. • The CEO cannot confiscate the blue badge, but can report its misuse to Social Services. If you are reporting persistent misuse at a particular location • We would need the location & times, and the registration if it was a singular vehicle witnessed. • We would then follow the steps outlined above, but targeted using location & time, as far as reasonably and operationally practical. If you are reporting misuse which is a one off and after the event • We have little power to become involved, and this detail should be passed to Social Services for them to record.
