05/07/06 - New measures to tackle abuse of the Blue Badge Scheme

<back>
New measures to tackle abuse of the Blue Badge Scheme for disabled people will come into force from 29 September 2006, Transport Minister Gillian Merron announced today.

Once the powers take effect the police, traffic wardens, local authority parking attendants and civil enforcement officers will be able to inspect blue badges as part of their other parking enforcement functions. It will be an offence if a person refuses, without reasonable excuse, to produce a badge for inspection - punishable on conviction by a fine of up to �1,000.
