Blue Badge Scheme

The Blue Badge scheme, which gives parking concessions to disabled people, is under review. As with so many things, this review started ages ago but is only now crawling towards a decision. I was shocked to find that there are an estimated 700,000 abusers out of the total blue badge holder number of two and a half million. The review might recommend making the badges electronic so that they are easier to cancel, and tightening enforcement powers.
