Suspect misuse?
What we need
- Badge number: This is the first six digits (letters and numbers) printed under the expiry date
- Location: Where the misuse occurred (the street name or car park)
- Date and time: When the misuse happened
- Details: Any more information you can provide (for example, a description of the vehicle, what the badge holder was doing)
How to report it
Contact us by email confidentially, including all of the above.
Be aware that the criteria for Blue Badges changed in August 2019. Now, people with hidden disabilities (non-visible disabilities) may be eligible and not show obvious walking difficulties.
What happens next
We can't share details of ongoing investigations. However, please be assured we follow up on every report. This includes contacting the badge holder for an explanation, if necessary.
We also work with the police and other local authorities. In serious cases, our anti-fraud team may be involved. Misuse can lead to fines of up to £1,000 and possible prosecution.
